Our Mission
We protect and support children and young people. We do this by providing practical and emotional care and support. We make sure their voices are heard. And we campaign to bring lasting improvements to their lives.
Our values
We’re passionate about all children having a safe and happy childhood. We’re ambitious for children and young people. We collaborate internally and externally with other organisations to get the best outcomes for children. We’re inclusive, and strive to ensure that all children are included.
Our areas of work
We take action in three ways:
Intervention. Anyone can get trapped in poverty, abuse or violence. When we spot problems, we take action early. We step in to help children, young people and families before things get worse.
Prevention. We give young people the support they need to grow up safe and happy. Projects like The Blues Programme teach important life skills and help to build resilience. It’s simple and it works.
Advocacy. Children don’t have a say in many things that affect their lives. We listen to what they want. We take their concerns to the government. And we campaign for better support and resources.
We’re delighted to have partnered with Anglo Doorstep Collections. Every customer booking a collection to support Action for Children provides a much-needed donation, helping us create more safe and happy childhoods for vulnerable children across the UK.
