Action for Children is a UK-wide charity that speaks out for the most vulnerable and
neglected children and young people, and supports them to break through injustice,
deprivation and inequality, so they can achieve their full potential. Action for Children helps
children, young people and their families through around 500 services across the UK,
including around 160 children’s centres in England (at the time of the research). It also
promotes social justice by lobbying and campaigning for change.
