Why regular donations are so important

Donating a small amount every month by direct debit helps us give vulnerable children the stability they need. Our regular supporters help us carry out long-term work and keep vital projects running. A small monthly donation could make a very big difference to a child who needs our help.

If it wasn’t for Priority Families, I don’t think I would be here today. They’ve helped me massively and the work they do is amazing...my children love them because they’re a big part of their lives. We see them every week and they’re absolutely amazing.

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. If you’re able to give a monthly gift, this provides long-term, stable support to children and young people. It helps run vital community services that local authorities can’t fund.
