Plan UK is a child-centred community development organisation with no religious or political affiliations.

We make long-term commitments to children in poverty and assist as many children as possible, by working in partnerships and alliances with them, their families, communities, civil society and government, building productive relationship and enabling their voices to be heard and recognised in issues that affect them.

Our vision

Plan’s vision is of a world in which all children realise their full potential, in societies which respect people’s rights and dignity.

Our structure

Plan UK, together with other 16 national organisations, is internationally associated, with Plan. The funds raised through Plan UK and the other 16 national organisations are pooled and allocated to Plan to the management of development programmes in 47 developing countries.

This structure allows Plan to invest as much of our funds in development projects as possible, which directly supports the beneficiary children, their families and communities, whilst keeping costs at a minimum and reducing the risk of duplication.

Plan UK was awarded last year the Charities Online Accounts Award in the category of the Top 100 UK Fundraising Charities, a credit to our effort in not only complying with accounting rules, but also in communicating effectively the impact of our work and valuing the trust placed on us by our supporters.

The management and operations of Plan’s central organization have been independently assessed by the International Committee on Fundraising Organizations (ICFO) and found to be in compliance with ICFO standards.
