Working with children and young people to be safe, happy, healthy and hopeful.

For over 150 years, we’ve been here for children and young people who need us most – bringing love, care and hope into their lives and giving them a place where they feel they belong. We are here because too many children and young people across the UK are missing out on a good childhood, and on the opportunity to thrive when they become adults.

We’ll continue to be here for as long as we’re needed – working with children and young people to be safe, happy, healthy and hopeful.

We will never, ever give up on the things that matter to them - and we’ll do everything we can to give them a place where they feel like they belong.

In everything we do, we work with children and young people to be safer, happier, healthier and more hopeful.

Safer: So children at risk of harm are better protected.
Happier: So children struggling with their wellbeing can access support and feel they belong.
Healthier: So children growing up with disadvantage can experience good physical and mental health.
More hopeful: So children experiencing challenges can move into adulthood with hope and confidence.

We’re determined to make this happen.

Until 2027 we’ll be focused on driving change for...

Children and young people struggling with their mental health and wellbeing
Children and young people at greater risk of poor health
Children, young people and families living in poverty
Families needing support to give their children the best possible life chances
Children in care and care leavers
Children and young people at risk of sexual abuse and exploitation
Children and families seeking sanctuary in the UK.
