Our impact
Every child should grow up safe and happy. We offer support to help them thrive – and step in to help when times get tough
We work to improve the lives of children, young people, and families in the UK. We do this by building solid foundations and spotting problems early.
This means parenting classes, nurseries, and children’s centres. It’s providing breaks for young carers, and extra help for disabled children. It’s supporting young people at risk of homelessness.
We bring mental health workshops to schools. We’re there for parents who need advice and support children at risk of criminal exploitation. We find foster homes for children in need of a loving family. And we campaign for lasting change.
We're a vital lifeline for children and families.
We’ve been helping children for more than 150 years. Today, we have 303 services across the UK, in local communities, in schools and online.
In 2025/26, we helped 544,297 children, young people and families. This included 525,120 families through our family support services.
This was only possible with your support.
We measure our impact every year. Here are some of the ways we're changing lives of children, young people and families.
