Advocacy

To create global, meaningful change in the way children are cared for, we partner with advocates and allies at every level: from international decision-makers to children and their families.

We regularly work with inspiring young people with experience of the care industry who want to change the lives of their peers for the better. The UN, EU and parliaments worldwide are just some of the locations where we invite these brave individuals so they can have their voices heard by change-makers on the world stage.

 

Programmes

Our programmes are the work we do on a local, national and international level to support the most vulnerable families. And much of the behind-the scenes work to determine where and how we can make the greatest amount of change is done in the UK. This includes:

Local programmes, which are a key part of our work. By providing proactive support, from emergency assistance in areas of war, to supporting community care projects, a well resourced community allows families to thrive. Planned properly, local support can also help prevent the early risk factors that drive seperation, including poverty, displacement due to war and community disability support services.

National programmes help support countries that are working towards positive change. Our national programmes are often designed around the needs of individual countries who want to or are already making great strides in reforming their care systems to benefit children.

International programmes are created and implemented to make change from the top. Though changes to recommendations and policies by international bodies take time, they are invaluable as when they are applied correctly, they have the potentional to positively impact the lives of countless children worldwide. Our international programmes work to inform leaders of the well-reserched benefits of care reform, including costs, but most importantly, the improved outcomes for children.

 

Fundraising

We simply cannot do our lifechanging work without the support of our generous donors from across the world. From a Cheshire school hosting a fundraising swimathon, to philantropists and corporate sponsors seeking to make a change in the world—it all makes a difference for the children and families we support.

Lumos hosts and supports fundraising events across the UK. Want to host a fundraiser of your own in aid of Lumos? Check out our helpful fundraising resources to get you started, or contact [email protected].
