About us

The Children's Society is a children's charity which wants to create a society where children and young people are valued, respected and happy.

We are Christian charity committed to helping vulnerable and disadvantaged young people, including safeguarding children in care and young runaways. We give a voice to disabled children, help young refugees to rebuild their lives and provide relief for young carers. Through our campaigns and research, we seek to influence policy and perceptions to improve child protection so that young people have a better chance in life.
