Our vision is that every child and young person in the UK has a safe and happy childhood, and the foundations they need to thrive. We do this by working closely with children and their families, from before they’re born until their twenties. We help more than 387,000 children, young people and their families in the UK every year. Our work is split into three main areas: best start in life, good mental health and a safe and loving home. We’ve been doing this for 150 years. In that time, we’ve seen a lot of hardship - but we’ve also seen what a huge difference the right support can make.
