Further details:

Save the Children UK fights for children in the UK and around the world who suffer from poverty, disease, injustice and violence. We work with them to find lifelong answers to the problems they face in over 60 countries around the world. These are countries suffering crises, developing, transition and developed countries. We support young people to lead groups, networks and organizations so they can work for change themselves. Key themes of our work across the UK include poverty and discrimination (especially focusing on education and health), young refugees, violence against children such as bullying and physical punishment, positive parenting and citizenship. We identify and work with the most vulnerable children, who have previously been left out or forgotten.
