Join our 5 year campaign to support 20,000 children

In England and Wales, 90,000 children are in the care system.
One third have family members oversea who could provide them with a safe and loving home. But they are being overlooked.
Too many children and families are forgotten by the system. We make sure they are not.


To mark our 70thanniversary, we have launched a bold five year fundraising campaign to help support 20,000 children. We are on a mission to raise £5 million by 2030—because every child deserves the chance to grow up in a safe and loving family.
With your support, we will:
Expand our worldwide network of child protection partners, to reunite more children with family.
Secure the future of our Child Protection Team to respond to growing demand and increasingly complex cases.
Amplify Our Voice and boost our advocacy work to drive systemic change, share expertise, and reach more children in need.

We have the solution; your support makes it happen.

Finding home - a short story by cFAB

Finding Home - Lena's Story

From a very young age, Lena lived with her grandmother in the UK as her parents were alcoholics and unable to look after her.

However, when she was 5, her father demanded to look after her. He took her to Slovakia to live with his new girlfriend. In her new home, Lena was regularly beaten, starved and neglected.

Lena’s father had become involved in illegal activities and was killed in gang violence when Lena was 7. Lena was abandoned and soon after was taken into care.

The Slovakian authorities called CFAB’s Advice Line in the hope of finding Lena’s family. CFAB’s expert inter-country child protection team were able to find Lena’s grandmother and complete all of the necessary checks, paperwork and legal work to ensure Lena would be safe with her. Lena was eventually reunited with her grandmother who was able to provide her with a safe and stable home.
