Star in Every Child

We believe there's a star in every child. It’s their energy, their imagination. Their personality. When a child is safe and happy, their star shines brightly.

But poverty, abuse and neglect, and poor mental health are robbing too many children of the bright futures they deserve.

Together, we can change this.

Do you want to be part of a movement helping children shine all over the UK?

Sign up to our newsletter for free. As a valued supporter, you’ll receive inspiring stories and opportunities to help children shine, including where you live.

Right now, millions of children in the UK don’t have the chance to shine. Their childhoods are overshadowed by abuse and neglect, poverty and poor mental health.

Together, we can help make sure children get the best start in life and have a loving place to call home. We can provide food and warmth in a crisis. We can be there for parents who are struggling. And we can offer the right mental health support so children thrive.

Help us break down the barriers that stop children shining – before it’s too late.

Without support, abuse and neglect, poverty and poor mental health can have a lifelong impact. Because it’s hard to grow, learn and fulfil your potential when you’re hungry or cold, scared or alone.

We reached more than 600,000 children last year. But there are so many more children who need us to be there.

Action for Children know how to give vulnerable children a brighter future. But we can’t do it without you.
