Reading Rugby Club has chosen Action for Children as its Charity of the Year for 2011-2012.
Action for Children is committed to helping the most vulnerable and neglected children and young people break through injustice, deprivation and inequality, so they can achieve their full potential. As one of the UK 's largest children's charities, Action for Children works with nearly 200,000 children, young people and their families at 480 projects across the UK .
Action for Children’s services fall in to four key areas:
- Families who need support – Action for Children is the largest provider of family support services in the UK, helping children and families with the most difficult problems.
- Children who cannot live with their birth families – Action for Children is a registered adoption agency and also provides fostering schemes.
- Disabled children – this includes residential and respite care.
- Young people who experience severe difficulties – We work to help vulnerable young people realise their potential and make a successful transition to adulthood.
In all of our work with children, young people and families we look to offer support and encouragement that empowers and transforms lives. At Action for Children our aim is simple but ambitious, to help the UK ’s most vulnerable children and young people achieve their full potential. We help them do this with a wide and innovative range of services for them and their families, as well as by campaigning for policy change.
In the Reading area we have three projects which are Woodlark’s Children’s Centre, Waterlilies Children’s Centre and Margaret Wells-Furby Children’s Centre find out information about these projects on my.actionforchildren.org.uk.
