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.

Supporting families in crisis

Each year we help hundreds of families facing a crisis in their lives.  By providing immediate emergency support via our Crisis Funds, we ensure families can access the practical help they need when they have nowhere else to turn. This has only been possible thanks to the generosity of our supporters.

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