The National Osteoporosis Society is the only UK charity offering nationwide support to help the 3 million people in the UK who are affected by osteoporosis. Half of all women and one in five men over 50, will break a bone due to poor bone health. Osteoporosis is often referred to as the ‘silent condition’ with many people living in pain. We are dedicated to ending the pain and suffering caused by osteoporosis, and helping people to live the lives they want to lead. We help to provide essential life-changing information via a library of free fact sheets & leaflets. Our Nurses Helpline offers free practical guidance and vital emotional support, we organise education to inform Health Professionals about the condition to ensure they are able to provide first-rate care and we fund ground-breaking medical research.

Our Vision

A world of protection and opportunity for children living alone and at risk on the streets.

Railway Children is an international children's charity. We fight for vulnerable children who live alone at risk on the streets, where they suffer abuse and exploitation.

In the UK, society often denies their existence, and in other countries the problem is so prevalent that it has become 'normal'.

They run away or are forced to leave homes where they suffer poverty, violence, abuse and neglect. They find themselves living on the streets because there is nowhere else to go and no one left to turn to. The problems they face on the streets are often even worse than those they endured at home. Every day we fight to change their story.

Railway Children race to reach children as soon as they arrive on the streets and intervene before an abuser can. Our pioneering work enables us to get to street children before the streets get to them.
