The Charity -
NCH / Action For Children
|
|
NCH is the UK's leading children's charity. Through our
services we support some of the UK's most vulnerable and
excluded children and young people. |
|
NCH was founded in 1869 and known for many years as the
National Children's Home. We are now known simply as NCH. |
|
The children, young people and families we work with face
difficulties such as poverty, disability and abuse. We work
in partnership to develop services in response to local
need, and we are the leading UK provider of services for
disabled children and their families, children's services in
rural areas, family and community centres, and services for
young people leaving care. |
 |
|
NCH runs nearly 500 projects for some of the most vulnerable
and excluded children, young people and their families
throughout the UK. We work with more than 140,000 children,
young people and families each year, more than any other UK
charity. |
|
We also promote social justice by lobbying and campaigning
for change. |

Action For Children - The New Name
For NCH |
|
Action for Children is committed to helping the most
vulnerable children and young people in the UK break through
injustice, deprivation and inequality, so they can achieve
their full potential.
|
 |
A proud heritage
We have been working with the UK’s most vulnerable children
since 1869. We were originally called the National
Children’s Home, or NCH, until September 2008 when we
changed our name to one that better describes what we do and
what we value – Action for Children.
|
Passionate about potential
We believe all children and young people have unique
potential and that they should have the support and
opportunities they need to reach it.
|
|
Action for Children helps nearly 156,000 children, young
people and their families through nearly 420 projects across
the UK. We also promote social justice by lobbying and
campaigning for change.
|
Changing lives
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.
