Our vision is a world where all children and young people have a sense of belonging and are loved and valued.
A world where they can break through injustice, deprivation and inequality to fulfil their potential, shape their own destiny and experience the joy of life Through our work and through speaking out, we seek to break the cycle of deprivation. We challenge injustice and empower children to overcome the obstacles in their lives that hold them back. We tailor our work to local circumstances, in partnership with children and young people, families, communities and local organisations.
We work with children and young people:
whose families need support
who cannot live with their birth families
who are disabled
who experience severe difficulties in their lives
We believe all children and young people have unique potential and that they should have the support and opportunities they need to reach it.
Today, Action for Children is the leading UK provider of family and community centres, children's services in rural areas, services for disabled children and their families, and services for young people leaving care. We provide services in England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland, and we also support work in Southern Africa, the Caribbean and Central America.
