Ormiston Children and Families Trust works to promote the well being of children and young people, especially those disadvantaged by their life experiences or circumstances. This is achieved through direct service provision and by raising awareness of related issues through research, publications, conferences and events.
Many of the children and young people we work with are:
- experiencing stigma and isolation caused by prejudice and discrimination
- in danger of becoming isolated and excluded both from school and the wider world
- affected by the imprisonment of their parent
- at risk of, or experiencing, emotional or physical harm
- caring for parents or siblings within their family
We are one of the largest voluntary providers of support services to children and families in the Eastern Region. Ormiston opened its first project in 1981 and we currently have twenty nine community and prison based projects across five counties.
Our Vision
Our vision is that of a society where every child and young person feels valued, safe, and free from prejudice, isolation and stigma.
Our Mission
Ormiston's mission is to reach those children and young people most disadvantaged by their life experiences and circumstances.
