NCH - About the National Childrens Charity

December 7th, 2006

NCH one of the UK’s leading children’s charities, helping children achieve their full potential. Through our services we support some of the UK’s most vulnerable and excluded children and young people.

NCH was founded in 1869 and known for many years as the National Children’s Home. We are now known as NCH, the children’s charity.

The children, young people and families we work with face difficulties such as poverty, disability and abuse.

What we believe

We believe all children and young people have unique potential and that they should have the support and opportunities they need to reach it.

We have been working to make this vision a reality for over 135 years.

Our work

NCH runs more than 500 projects for some of the UK’s most vulnerable and excluded children and young people, and their families, supporting over 160,000 people at children’s centres throughout the UK.

We also promote social justice by lobbying and campaigning for change.

Today, NCH is the leading UK provider of family and community centres, children’s services in rural areas, services for disabled children and their families, and services for young people leaving care.

Where we work

NCH provides services in England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland, and is one of the UK’s leading children’s charities. We also support work in Southern Africa, the Caribbean and Central America.

Working in partnership

We work in partnership to develop services in response to the needs of local children, young people and their families.
