The Catholic Children’s Society supports disadvantaged children and families across London, Hertfordshire and the South East.  We work with individuals of all faiths and none; our sole aim is to help those in greatest need.

Helping vulnerable families through the cost-of-living crisis

Right now we are helping disadvantaged families with food costs and bills so they can feed their children and keep them warm this winter. Our Crisis Funds have been inundated with requests and in recent months we have provided over £60,000 of emergency funding to support families in crisis. This has only been possible thanks to the generosity of our supporters.

By making a donation you can help us reach more families in urgent need this winter.
