How your money helps

Action for Children has made a promise to the UK's most vulnerable and disadvantaged children: to always be there for them, for as long as it takes. Donations from generous people like you mean we're able to keep this promise.

Through our services such as adoption, fostering, and early intervention with troubled families, we hope to bring about a world where all children are given the love and nurturing they deserve. We believe every child has great potential - our aim is to help them break through any injustice, deprivation or inequality they may face to unlock this.

Every donation helps change a life

Ultimately we want children and young people to lead happy, fulfilling lives. That's why the vast majority of our donations go toward running our projects and services, while the rest is put back into efforts to raise more money. We make every penny count, so no matter the size of your gift you can be sure that it's helping to change a child's life somewhere.

• A donation of just £5 could pay for emergency overnight support for a young person living on the street.
• £10 could help buy swimming and hydrotherapy sessions for a disabled child.
• £20 could pay for 15 children to have breakfast at one of our breakfast clubs.
• £50 could pay for a one-to-one counselling session for a child who has been abused.
