Action for Children

Mission Statement

Action for Children one of the UK's leading children's charities, helping children achieve their full potential. Through our services we support some of the UK's most vulnerable and excluded children and young people.

We believe all children and young people have unique potential and that they should have the support and opportunities they need to reach it.

Action for Children helps over 156,000 children, young people and their families through nearly 420 projects across the UK.

We also promote social justice by lobbying and campaigning for change. Our latest campaign details, highlighting the issues surrounding neglected children in the UK can be found at www.actionforchildren.org.uk

Today, Action for Children is the leading UK provider of family and community centres, children's services in rural areas, services for disabled children and their families, and services for young people leaving care.
