Why regular donations are so important

By giving a monthly donation, you could make a difference to the lives of children day in, day out.

Your monthly donation means that, together, we can help provide vital support to vulnerable children in need of our services.

Because childhoods can't wait. They need to be protected before it's too late.

The support we've had from Action for Children has just been fantastic. It means so much to us. I dread to think where we would be, had you not been there for us... it's unimaginable.

We rely on regular donations to keep services running

Action for Children gets some money from government, local authorities and businesses. But this kind of funding isn’t guaranteed long-term. It’s often restricted, so we can only use it for specific projects.

We rely on individual donations to provide much of the support we give to children and young people. Any size of donation makes a difference.

For as little as just one take out coffee a month, you could give more than you could imagine. The life-long knowledge that whatever a child's facing, they're not alone. The gift of growing up knowing they're seen, supported and loved. A safe and happy childhood.
