Our vision is that every child and young person has a safe and happy childhood, and the foundations they need to thrive.

Story

In 2013, Action for Children & The Very Hungry CaterpillarTM partnered to launch The Giant Wiggle - a sponsored walk with a fun-filled day of education activities for young children.

Since then, over £207,000 has been raised to help improve the lives of neglected & disadvantaged children in the UK through the work of Action for Children. 

For 2017, we have an ambitious target of £120,000!

To put that into perspective this could fund one of our specialist counselling projects for a whole year which work with over 50 children and young people who are victims of child sexual abuse. Action for Children provides over 600 services and local projects helping over 390,000 children, young adults & families across the UK.
