Brand & Corporates - Children on the Edge

Collaboration and innovation is in our DNA.

Children on the Edge was sparked into being in 1990 by the late Dame Anita Roddick, who mobilised her company, The Body Shop, to co-found the organisation.

Our willingness to embrace risk, move quickly, and remain agile are all testament to the entrepreneurial spirit of both Anita and our CEO, Rachel Bentley OBE.

It’s an approach we share with our partners, as we find innovative solutions for children forced to flee their homes, living in conflict, or facing poverty and exploitation.

We are equipped to work with a range of businesses and brands; ready to create a partnership that reflects your values and priorities and creates lasting change for children living on the edge.

Read below to discover how our programmes deliver impact, the type of partnerships we offer, and the ways in which your business can be a greater force for good.

Please get in touch with our CEO Ben Wilkes - benwilkes@childrenontheedge.org or call 01243 538530.

If you do things well, do them better. Be daring, be different, be just.

Why partner with Children on the Edge?

Where children are forced to flee their homes, surviving in warzones, or living in poverty - we support local communities to provide vital education and protection.

Over 35 years of experience in exceptionally challenging circumstances has taught us to be agile and to listen. Rather than adopting a 'cookie cutter' approach we co-design programmes according to specific needs by working hand-in-hand with local partners.

We stay as long as it takes, until the community feels equipped to go it alone. We are always working to do ourselves out of a job, and we'd love you to help.

OUR IMPACT

EDUCATION

We ensure children engage in effective learning by removing the specific barriers that keep them from the classroom. This involves implementing rights-based and play-based curricula that are culturally and linguistically relevant. By providing high-quality resources and trained teachers, we create an environment where every child has the opportunity to reach their full potential.

PROTECTION

Our approach ensures that children are safe and healthy, living free from violence, exploitation, and neglect. We work to build strong safety nets within the community and support nurturing family environments. By addressing both physical safety and emotional well-being, we ensure that children have the security they need to grow and flourish without fear.

INNOVATION

Partnering with local organisations, we find bespoke solutions to difficult problems. We use our small size to innovate, test, and refine high-quality education and protection models for children living on the edge. With our sharp focus, we can raise standards across the sector, creating benchmarks that can be scaled by much larger agencies.
