Every family is different
Whatever shape your family, whatever you’re going through, we’re here for you at every age and stage of life. We are Family Action.

Family Action was a lifeline just at the point when we needed it most. The greatest thing I learnt? To celebrate the uniqueness of my child: his creativity, honesty, kindness and determination.
Through change, challenge and crisis, Family Action is here for any family in need and anyone without family support. It’s what we’ve done for over 150 years.
Across the UK, we protect children, support young people and adults and offer direct, practical help to families and communities.
