Mr Roy Brown

We recognise that organisations don’t always get things right and welcome feedback if we fall short of the aspirations we've set out. As we approach our centenary year in 2019 our ambitions for the change we can deliver for children are higher than ever and it is only with your support that we will be able to realise the vision of our founder, Eglantyne Jebb: "I believe we should claim certain rights for the children and labour for their universal recognition, so that everybody – not merely the small number of people who are in a position to contribute to relief funds, but everybody who in any way comes into contact with children, that is to say the vast majority of mankind – may be in a position to help forward the movement.

We’re people who believe in the power of children. We do whatever it takes to make sure they survive, get protection when they’re in danger, and have the chance to learn. We are the world’s leading independent children’s organisation. For nearly 100 years our priorities have been determined solely by the needs of children, not by any political, religious or commercial affiliations.  We work to make sure children survive and thrive. We change the world for children through innovative programmes, bold campaigns, independent advocacy and high-impact partnerships. We work in the UK and globally. We change minds, change policies and raise funds by being a mass and mainstream cause.  We’re here to change things, not to spectate. We engage, inspire and give a platform to millions of people who want to be part of achieving lasting change for children.

We believe in empowering children as agents of change. We aim to be the foremost campaigning force for and with children.
