Despite these increases, the charity is seeing a drop in volunteers across Northern Ireland
More children in Northern Ireland have been contacting Childline with worries about the world, including fears about rising costs.
Some children have told Childline they are even considering whether they need to get a job to help out. Between April and November this year, the Belfast branch saw numbers fall from 66 to 54, while in Foyle numbers fell from 66 to 54 over the same period. "I just don’t understand how governments don’t do more to help. I sometimes feel guilty for feeling bad because my problems are nothing compared to people who have nothing in this world.”
Dame Esther Rantzen, Childline President and Founder, said: "Every Christmas we are incredibly grateful to our staff and volunteers who support children for whom this can be a very tough time.
