About us

At Coram we champion children’s rights and wellbeing, and make lives better through legal support, advocacy, adoption and our therapeutic, educational and cultural programmes.

We work every day with children, families, and those who support them to improve children’s chances in life, measuring how we are succeeding against seven key outcomes.

The Coram Institute will be the only think tank dedicated to the future of children, working with partners and young people to learn from the past, examine current needs and create better chances for the next generation.

We are regenerating our Bloomsbury campus to enable us to achieve our vision for the future of best practice in children and young people’s services.

Originally known as the Foundling Hospital, Coram is the UK's first dedicated children's charity, working to improve children’s life chances for nearly 300 years.
