About us

Action for Children’s vision is for every child to have a safe and happy childhood, and the foundations they need to thrive. We support the most vulnerable children and families - 765,905 last year alone.

We provide opportunities for brighter futures through practical and emotional care and support. And we ensure children’s voices are heard; campaigning for lasting improvements to their lives.

For 155 years, we’ve been providing services on-the-ground in communities UK-wide. With 426 services, we’re a national charity delivering local impact.
