The Children's Society

Mission Statement

The Children's Society is a leading children's charity committed to making childhood better for all children in the UK.

We do this in three ways:

- Our network of community-based projects provide immediate and lasting help for children who feel excluded, isolated or abandoned; children who often face danger or disadvantage in their daily lives.

- Our schools work, family centres and mentoring schemes help children avoid crisis by developing the skills and confidence they need to challenge and overcome difficult situations.

- Our research and campaigning creates real change by influencing the thinking of everyone – from the general public to politicians and decision makers - about how to make childhood better.

Our priorities for a good childhood are driven by what children tell us they need the most - to live in a world where they can experience loving, caring relationships in families and communities that respect and support them.

A good community supports a good childhood
