asphaleia action

asphaleia action is a registered charity seeking to contribute to the care, upbringing & advancement of life for vulnerable children & young people in the UK and internationally.

Our approach is all about taking action. Where the most vulnerable children and young people are in need of specialist support, our charity will respond so that we are able to protect and support them through a range of projects and services.

Established in 2000 in response to a need in West Sussex for specialist support for refugee children, we now provide services in West London, West Sussex, Kent and Sierra Leone, Africa to disadvantaged young people from many backgrounds including:, trafficked young people and young people at risk of being trafficked; young people in poverty; looked after children; young people with learning difficulties/disabilities; young people with behavioural emotional and social difficulties; teenage parents and young offenders, migrants and refugees.
