The Catholic Children’s Society (CCS) supports disadvantaged children and families across London, Hertfordshire, and the South East, working with individuals of all faiths and none. Our mission is to help those in greatest need through practical, emotional, and therapeutic support.

We offer a range of targeted services. Connect-Ed provides school-based mental health and wellbeing support, while Rainbows program helps children cope with loss, bereavement, or family breakdown. Through our Crisis Fund, we offer emergency grants to families facing immediate hardship, providing essentials such as food, clothing, and beds. Our family centres, St Francis and St Mark’s, deliver specialist early years and parenting support in some of the most deprived communities.

By working in partnership with schools, families, and local agencies to help children feel safe, supported, and ready to thrive. Each year, CCS reaches thousands of children and families, building brighter futures and lasting change in the communities we serve.
