Hope and Homes for Children
Every child needs the protection, encouragement and love of a family.
Poverty, discrimination and a lack of support for families when they suffer difficulties mean 8 out of 10 of the 8 million children confined to orphanages are not orphans – they have at least one living parent or close relative.
Decades of evidence proves that orphanages damage children’s development, exposing them to life-changing neglect and abuse.
That’s why Hope and Homes for Children is a leading global movement to keep children in families, putting an end to an antiquated orphanage system that is neither necessary nor working.
Always family. Never orphanages.

The Mayor’s Fund for London is an independent charity, championing social mobility for young Londoners from low-income backgrounds.
We believe that all young people, regardless of their starting point in life, should be able to thrive in their community, forge fulfilling careers and can take advantage of the outstanding opportunities that London has to offer.
Our work raises awareness of the barriers facing young Londoners, promotes the activities which best increases their opportunities and brings together the partnerships to make a measurable impact on young Londoners’ lives.
In 2018, we supported over 35,000 young Londoners aged 4-24 across all 33 boroughs working in partnership with 427 schools, 110 community organisations and 94 employers, charities, social enterprises, and local authorities.
The Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, is our patron.
