We’re here for children, young people and families in the UK.

Our vision is that every child and young person in the country has a safe and happy childhood, and the foundations they need to thrive.

We protect and support children and young people, providing practical and emotional care and support. We ensure their voices are heard, and campaign to bring lasting improvements to their lives.

We make sure children get the best start in life. We step in to keep them safe and support young people going through a difficult time. We’re also here for families who need a bit of extra help.

We do this because life for many of the children we meet is hard. Some don’t have the basics, like the love and care of a family or a safe place to call home. Others are struggling with their mental health, face physical challenges or don’t have the support they need to become healthy, happy adults.

Apply for your running place today and make a difference!

We promise that we will be there to support you every step of the way!
