Our vision is of a society where all families are free from poverty, disadvantage and social exclusion.
We believe that all families have the strength to overcome their difficulties – no matter how complex. Combining practical, emotional and financial help, we support each family according to their needs. We use this experience to campaign for a society free from disadvantage and social isolation.
We build on families’ strengths, supporting them to fulfil their potential and enabling them to make a positive contribution to their community.
We are the UK’s leading family charity. Since 1869 we have been meeting the changing needs of families. Today we help over 45,000 families every year, with over 100 services based in communities across the country.
