Our partnership with the Church

Church windowsFounded in 1881 by a Sunday school teacher, our partnership with the Church is of central importance.

Our current Chair of Trustees is the Bishop of Truro, Bishop Tim Thornton, and we work closely with the archbishops of Canterbury and York, who are presidents of The Children's Society.

We also work with bishops and senior clergy across the country. Our partnership working extends to Church of England schools and to the networks of children's work advisors and youth officers.

But we would like to do more. We want to work in partnership with every single parish in the Church of England who we hope will be inspired to support our work in prayer, through giving and by volunteering.

And we won't rest there. We would like to work with all people who share our values, whether Christians from other denominations, people of other faiths, or people of no faith at all.
