Vice Presidents

‘Vice President’ is one of Action for Children’s highest honorary titles. It’s for supporters who have gone above and beyond for children, young people and families across the UK.

Vice Presidents have:

• Typically driven transformational fundraising or personally contributed over £1 million in donations.
• Shown exceptional commitment through their length of service, contributions and impact.
• Helped transform the lives of children and their families by bringing supporters to our cause, boosting our profile, or spearheading our flagship events.
