how we help

  • Nearly 4 million children live in poverty in the UK
  • Approximately 79,000 children are currently looked after by local authorities
  • Every ten days in England and Wales one child is killed by a parent

Hundreds of thousands of vulnerable children in the UK need care and protection in order to ensure that they can live safe and happy lives, free from neglect, abuse and exploitation. Spurgeons’ staff are committed to providing the support that will enable these children to enjoy their childhood and fulfil their true potential. Spurgeons is one of the UK’s most well-respected charities. We have been working tirelessly on behalf of vulnerable children since the charity was first founded, 140 years ago.

Spurgeons is working at the heart of communities, responding to the needs of children who have been ignored and broken. We believe every child needs a chance. Join us and child by child we will create a better future – together.
