Save the Children (UK) is part of the International Save the Children Alliance which aims to be a truly international movement for children There are 29 independent Save the Children organisations which form the International Save the Children Alliance. Together, the Alliance works in over 100 countries worldwide, sharing the same vision, mission and values.

Our mission
Save the Children fights for children’s rights and delivers immediate and lasting improvements to children’s lives world-wide.

The work of Save the Children
Save the Children works in the UK and across the world. Emergency relief runs alongside long-term development and prevention work to help children, their families and communities to be self-sufficient. We learn from the reality of children's lives and campaign for solutions to the problems they face, for example through Save the Children’s current Beat Poverty campaign. We gain expertise through our projects round the world and use that knowledge to educate and advise others.

Citizenship Education
Save the Children UK’s global child rights education programme is committed to promoting global citizenship education in schools and with youth organisations across the UK through in-service support, free and priced resources. The website provides a wealth of teaching and youth materials plus lesson plans and details of Speaking Out, the free speaker service for schools, young people and adult groups.
