About us

Right now, millions of UK children are living in poverty. And the cost-of-living crisis has made children even more vulnerable. Action for Children is a vital lifeline for families. Our Crisis Fund pays for essentials like food, clothes and heating bills in times of crisis.

But that’s not all we do. We have more than 400 services in local communities across the UK. Our inter mental health programme helps children build resilience. Our fostering services provide safe and loving homes for children who need them. We support disabled children and their families. And our award-winning Parent Talk service gives guidance on topics from self-harm and depression, to baby’s routines and play.

Last year we helped 671,000 children, young people and families. With your support, even more children can have a safe and happy childhood.
