Catholic Children's Society has been helping disadvantaged children and families since 1859. The image above comes from some of the publicity material we produced in the 1920s and 1930s under our original name of The Crusade of Rescue. O ver the years the needs of children and families have evolved and changed and our work with them has matched these changes. For example, we used to run children's homes in several parts of London. Today, much of our work with disadvantaged children and families is provided through our Family Centres.
