Children's Society

Right now in Britain there are children and young people who feel scared, unloved and unable to cope. The Children’s Society works with these young people, step by step, for as long as it takes, Listening, Supporting and Acting.

Because no child should feel alone.

Christ teaches us that when we offer hospitality and care to children and those who lack food or shelter, we are welcoming and caring for him (Matthew 18.5, 25.34–40). He tells us that we can only enter the Kingdom of God when we ‘become like children’ (Matthew 18.1-3, Luke 6.20). His ministry shows that love must be combined with courage, and a willingness to confront injustice.  In his words and in his actions, he proclaims hard truths which disturb the powerful and the comfortable (see Jesus' cleansing of the Temple in Mark 11, Matthew 21, Luke 19-20 and John 2).
That is why the Children's Society have a vision of a country where children are free from disadvantage, and why their mission involves a willingness to tell hard truths to fight for change and support disadvantaged children to have better lives.

Find out more here.


Supporters such as St. Mary's around the country fund the services Children's Society provides and join in with campaigns to show children and young people they are on their side.
