Welcome to the website of the Catholic Children’s Society (Plymouth)

STOP PRESS! The Society is delighted to announce that Wilfrid Weld, DL and Sally Weld, DL have kindly agreed to become patrons of the Society. Sally Weld has always been supportive of children’s charities and is currently President of Dorset NSPCC. They are both Trustees of the Weld of Lulworth Charitable Trust which owns the chapel at Lulworth, the first to be built for public worship after the Reformation.

We are a child welfare agency covering the Roman Catholic Diocese of Plymouth, which consists of Cornwall, Devon and most of Dorset.

We provide

• Individual grants and bursaries for families and children in need
• Parenting Courses through diocesan schools
• Programmes on social concern for school groups
• Basic awareness training, for the diocese, on safeguarding children

Our sister agency Families for Children, now handles all the adoption work formerly done by the Society. The Society was involved in the formation of Families for Children but the two charities are separate and function independently.

We are a registered charity (No 282803) and rely on voluntary donations to enable us to do our work. If you wish to support the Society in this way go to the DONATE NOW page, or if you want to leaven a gift to the Society in your will, please see the How to Help page.
