National Blind Children's Society

Blind children can get left behind when their friends go to discos. They can't play ball games or experiment with make-up. In the classroom they struggle to keep up, especially now that more go to mainstream schools. The National Blind Children's Society is here to make sure they don't get left behind. They give them the education equipment they desperately need, such as talking computers. They pay for a wide range of recreational activities so they get the most out of life.

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.
