Mission Statement

Right now in Britain there are children and young people who feel scared, unloved and unable to cope. The Children’s Society works with these young people, step by step, for as long as it takes.

Because no child should feel alone.

About This Cause

The Children's Society is a national UK charity that is tenaciously working to disrupt multiple disadvantage. Right now in Britain there are children and young people who are facing one, or many disadvantages. We work with these young people step by step for as long as it takes. Children are facing a multitude of problems in our society today. From dealing with the issues that arise from growing up in poverty, to having problems at home - domestic violence or substance misuse - these young people may develop mental health problems and then feel like their best option is to run away from home. We support children and young people who have arrived into this country on their own and are battling with the immigration system. Our services give them someone to turn to and our policy work ensures that the system supports them as much as possible. We work to tackle abuse and neglect and support the victims through their trauma. Our work with authorities to ensure that children that are victims of criminal exploitation are seen as victims and not criminals - we are seen as leaders in our field and support young people as they come to terms with the exploitation they have faced. There are no simple answers so we work with others to tackle complex problems.
