The National Children's Bureau (NCB) is a leading children's charity that for over 50 years has been improving the lives of children and young people, especially the most vulnerable.

The NCB work with children, and for children, to reduce the devastating impact of childhood inequalities

Our vision

For every child to be safe, secure and supported.

Our mission

To build a better childhood for every child.

Our values

Our values act as the core beliefs and universal truths that affect how we behave, how we work together as a team, how we structure our internal

 processes and how we deliver our mission.

Forever young

Children and young people are at the heart of what we do. We reflect this energy and optimism in our approach to work.

Better together

We collaborate from the inside and outside, living up to the trust our partners place in us to do what's right for children and young people.

Always learning

Like an inquisitive child, we always ask ‘Why?’ We never settle for the status quo and always search for future progress.

Open minded

The best way to influence is through evidence, not assumptions. The rigour of our research drives our work to achieve more for the UK's children.

Taking care

We invest a significant part of our selves in our work. We respect and value that investment by looking after ourselves and each other.
