Save the Children is the leading UK charity working to create a better world for children. We work in over 70 countries (including the UK), helping children in the world's most impoverished communities.
Emergency relief runs alongside long-term development and prevention work to help children, their families and communities to be self-sufficient. We learn from the reality of children's lives and campaign for solutions to the problems they face. We gain expertise through our projects around the world and use that knowledge to educate and advise others.
Save the Children (UK) is part of the International Save the Children Alliance which aims to be a truly international movement for children. To finance our work, we depend on the support of the general public, volunteers in over 150 shops and 600 branches in the UK, the corporate sector, governments and international donor agencies.
