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.
