Action for Children

From before they are born until they are into their twenties, we help disadvantaged children across the UK.

We help them through fostering or adoption – and by intervening early to stop neglect and abuse. We make life better for children with disabilities. We influence policy and advocate for change. Our 7,000 staff and volunteers operate over 600 services, improving the lives of 390,000 children, teenagers, parents and carers every year. We succeed by doing what’s right, doing what’s needed, and doing what works for children.

We always demonstrate what we do, and show how it works.
From our origins running childrens’ homes, our work has spanned three centuries, developing services for children that are proven to work. We work in partnership with other charities, local authorities and health services, and are supported by a team of experts and specialists. Evidence drives everything we do.

We influence policy and advocate for change.

Speaking out fearlessly to make sure all children have the best start in life. To do this we are pressing for change on three key priorities:

• Support for children and families
• A fair deal for young people
• Tackling child abuse and neglect

We provide services for children and young people whose families need support, who can’t live with their birth families, who are are disabled, and who are the most in need.

We’re the go-to charity for service delivery and the fourth largest supplier of social care services in the UK. You can commission services from us including children’s and family centres, intensive family support, short breaks, employability, fostering and evidence-based programmes.
