They provide hundreds of loving services all over the UK, taking action for children and young people facing a whole host of challenges – from protecting children from abuse and violence to delivering mental health workshops in schools and helping those at risk of criminal exploitation.
Areas of work
Action for Children’s Areas of Work
Intervention
Anyone can get trapped in poverty, abuse or violence. When they spot problems, they take action early – stepping in to help children, young people and families before things get worse.
Prevention
They give young people the support they need to grow up safe and happy. Projects like The Blues Programme teach important life skills and help build resilience.
Advocacy
Children don’t have a say in many things that affect their lives. Action for Children listens, takes their concerns to government and campaigns 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.” – Action for Children
