Separated Child
deprived denied detained displaced
Imagine…
Imagine having to flee your homeland because of war, terror, or persecution…
Imagine being a child or young person…
Imagine not having your parents with you because they were killed before you left or were unable to leave…
Imagine arriving in a strange country, seeking asylum, completely alone…
Imagine having absolutely nothing.
Now imagine
being able to help.
What we do
The Separated Child Foundation offers emotional, social, financial and physical support to separated children and young people in Britain up to the age of 21. We also engage in educational activities that raise awareness of their needs and encourage positive responses to them.

Young Volunteer
It is always particularly heartening when young people choose to volunteer for us and Guy Slavin reveals his own motivation for wanting to volunteer for The Separated Child Foundation and shares some of his experience
Children’s Voices
The voices of the children we support are powerful. We have collected some of their stories and projects that they have been involved in. These are informative and moving.
