Internet Watch Foundation (IWF)

Choosing to fundraise for the Internet Watch Foundation is a way to take practical action against a growing online harm. Funds raised support specialist teams who work every day to disrupt the sharing of child sexual abuse imagery, strengthen protections across the internet, and support those doing this difficult work. Whilst the harm our criminal imagery-viewing staff are exposed to in carrying out this work pales in comparison with the mental damage done to the children in that material, each member of staff who views images or videos of child sexual abuse is confronting that trauma on behalf of the rest of us in society, who care deeply about protection of children in an increasingly digitalised world.   By fundraising for the IWF, supporters help turn determination into measurable change and play a direct role in keeping children safer online. 

£20 could help add webpages to the IWF’s blocking list, preventing children and adults from accidentally stumbling across child sexual abuse imagery online. 

£100 could support the issuing of multiple takedown notices to companies hosting criminal content, helping to prevent further sharing and harm. 

£250 could help provide counselling sessions for Hotline analysts as part of the IWF’s duty of care and wellbeing programme. 

£1,000 could help fund essential hardware and technology that analysts rely on to remove images of child sexual abuse from the internet.
