Our impact 2022/23

Spurgeons is a national charity and during 2022/23 we have helped 30,500 families, children, young people and adults.

We deliver a wide range of services in a challenging social landscape. Families are battling a cost of living crisis, children are feeling the impact of the lost opportunities through the pandemic and for many families, life’s challenges are becoming overwhelming. Our services help when families need support the most.

Ian Soars CEO:

At the heart of Spurgeons is the ability to meet the needs of families wherever they are, with whatever they need

No family should face life's struggles alone - thanks to you, they don't have to

In 1867, Baptist preacher and writer, Charles Haddon Spurgeon, was inspired by his faith to found an orphanage in London, offering vulnerable children care and education. Today, his work continues through Spurgeons Charity.

The way in which we support children and families has changed enormously over 150 years, but our ambitions remain the same. Spurgeons transforms the nation, one child at a time, by ensuring every family has the support needed to flourish.

In our latest Impact Report, you can read about the breadth of Spurgeons' work and the positive impact we make daily to thousands of young lives. Thank you for being a vital supporter of this work.
