Why vote for Action for Children?
We work with families in crisis, disabled children, children in
need of safe homes and young people who have experienced
devastating setbacks, such as abuse, homelessness and
addiction.
We provide specialist support and care, tailored to local
circumstances and individual need - we know one size doesn't fit
all. Sharing Network Rail's own approach, we too provide a
network that people can rely on. Our support is delivered
nationwide via 480 projects, each based in the heart of their
local community.
We have been supporting vulnerable children for over 140 years,
when our founder discovered abandoned children living under the
railway bridges of Waterloo and set up our first
home to look after them. Since then, we've been committed to being
there for vulnerable children for as long as it takes.
Fundraising and volunteering opportunities
Our partnership with Network Rail promises to be filled with
fantastic fundraising and meaningful volunteering
opportunities. We would love for all 35,000 staff members to join
us in making a real and lasting difference to the journeys of the
children we work with.
Case study: Jamie
Children like Jamie*, who at age 8 was put into care after his
parents could no longer look after him. He faced a huge
amount of uncertainty and difficulties, resulting in him attempting
suicide several times as he felt he had no-one to turn to.
At the age of 16, Jamie was referred to an Action for Children
project. The project helped him to find secure housing, motivated
him to finish his education and then helped him to find a
job. Jamie describes Action for Children as being like
a family to him, building his confidence and self-esteem,
turning his life around and getting him back on track.
The support Jamie received will have a positive influence on him
for the rest of his life, and by voting for Action for Children you
will create a life changing legacy for thousands
of other children and young people.

Both our organisations work day and night to help people get to
where they need to go. By choosing Action for Children as
Network Rail's Charity of Choice, we can help some of the most
vulnerable children, like Jamie, to have a better journey to a
brighter future. Thank you.
