"When families face serious difficulties, they may struggle to provide a secure, loving home for their children. Family Action offers support to families when they most need it, giving practical, emotional and financial help so that parents and children can overcome their problems."
Dame Judi Dench MBE
The charity has been a leading provider of services to disadvantaged and socially isolated families since its foundation in 1869. We work with over 45,000 families a year by providing practical, emotional and financial support through over 100 services based in communities across England. A further 150,000 people benefit from our educational grants and information service. We tackle some of the most complex and difficult issues facing families today – including domestic abuse, mental health problems, learning disabilities and severe financial hardship.
We work with whole families to help them find solutions to problems, no matter how difficult, so that they become safer, stronger and more optimistic about their future.
