About us / Our impact

Our impact

Together, we create Family Hubs where we’re needed most, providing counselling, early years and family support. We partner with local councils, churches and communities to care for every family, putting children and young people first in everything we do.

When families flourish, children flourish

Every day, children, young people and families continue to face challenges that 
can feel overwhelming.

This year, Spurgeons has continued to stand alongside families across the country, providing practical support, specialist services and trusted relationships when they are needed most. From Family Hubs and parenting support, to counselling, preschool education, digital resources and services for families affected by imprisonment, we are helping people build confidence, strengthen relationships and create brighter futures. 

 

The stories told in our 2025/26 Impact Report show the scale of the need, the dedication of our teams and partners, and, most importantly, the difference that timely support can make to a child's life.

Stronger families, brighter futures

Over the past year, thousands of people have chosen to stand alongside children, young people and families through donations, fundraising, church partnerships, grants and gifts in Wills. 

 

As we continue delivering our 2025-2030 strategy, our ambition is to continue developing deeper relationships with supporters, strengthening connections with churches and creating more opportunities for people to engage with our work. Every gift, every fundraiser and every act of support help ensure that children and families can access help when they need it most. 

 

To every donor, fundraiser, church, company, trust, foundation and legacy supporter: thank you.

Your generosity helps children feel safe, families feel supported and communities grow stronger. 

Building for the future

We want to ensure that all families get the support they need. More counselling sessions, more parenting advice and more support for those impacted by imprisonment. You can make that possible. 

 

Please donate today to help children and families to flourish. If you want to join us in transforming families, your gift - whether a one‑time donation or regular monthly giving - helps ensure that no family has to face life’s challenges alone. 

  • At the heart of Spurgeons is our mission to empower families, connect communities and enable children to thrive.

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.
