See the difference you can make

For most of us, the festive season is a happy time. But there are children all over the UK who face a Christmas without food, warmth or love. We’re working hard to change this – and we need your help.

At?Action for Children, we see children who are hurting every day. But we also see the difference your support makes. Last year, people like you helped us reach 368,648 children, young people and families in the UK.

This year, vulnerable children in the UK need a Secret Santa more than ever.

By becoming a Secret Santa – and raising money – you can bring happiness, warmth and safety to these children.

How Action for Children helps

We step in to make sure a child’s needs are met when times get really tough. Our emergency fund gives families with urgent needs one-off financial support.
Our Family Partners project helps prevent and reduce neglect, giving parents the practical skills to make positive changes, and empowering them to overcome difficulties.
Our counselling service Breaking the Cycle gives children and young people affected by domestic abuse a voice, helping them talk about their feelings and learn vital coping skills.
