NCB is the leading national charity which supports children, young people and families and those who work with them. Our vision is a society in which children and young people are valued, their rights respected and responsibilities enhanced; our mission, to advance the well-being of children and young people across every aspect of their lives.

We undertake around 60 projects each year to improve the lives of children, especially the most vulnerable. We ensure that children, young people and families are at the heart of all our work.

We work with organisations from across the voluntary, statutory and private sectors through our membership scheme, and through the sector-led specialist networks and partnership programmes that operate under our charitable status. We are committed to evidence-informed decision making, and we lead the way in researching, identifying and communicating high impact, community and family-centred solutions which will enable cost-effective, sector-led improvement and development.
