Supporting children & families
We care deeply about the children of today, the adults of tomorrow and all of us here now; the children we were and the people we could be in future, with the right support. We are here for families, whatever they're going through.
Children & families
Adoption & special guardianship
We’re not a placement agency. That means we can offer independent, expert support through the realities of adoption, fostering, special guardianship and for those who have experienced state care systems.
Adoption & special guardianship
Providing food & hardship support
We support people in the face of an ongoing cost of living crisis. Our FOOD clubs help people in cities and towns across the UK to put food on the table and our direct grants, when needed, help people get back on their feet.
Food & financial hardship
SEND support
One of the largest providers of SENDIAS services in the UK, we support families and young people to understand their rights and get the help they need through advice, support and signposting.
Special educational needs & disabilities
Promoting health & wellbeing
From work with GPs to combat loneliness and isolation, to perinatal support, to counselling to overcome trauma and abuse, at Family Action we support the physical, emotional and mental health and wellbeing of every family and community member.

Our work with young people
As the adults of tomorrow, young people need our support for what they’re going through today. Through mentoring and family support, we help people work through whatever’s happened in the past and present, so they can start to look forward.

Our work in schools & education
The National School Breakfast Programme is our largest school provision, offering a tasty, nutritious breakfast to 350,000 children every year. We also provide behaviour outreach support to schools.

Developing skills & employability
From our HeadStart programme for young adults to the LifeSkills sessions in local communities, Family Action helps create opportunities for people to shape or reshape their futures for themselves.

Find out how, together, we make a difference
When we have the support we need, we can shape or reshape our futures for ourselves. Family Action makes a difference because we understand the power of family, working with not ‘doing to’.
