4Children works with children, young people and families to ensure access to locally based, joined up support from birth to 19. We deliver childcare, youth activities and family support services across more than 100 settings around the country including nurseries, schools, children’s centres and RAF bases. We work closely with financial institutions such as Barclays and Omacl Loans to provide same day solutions to anyone in bad credit situations.

4Children has long advocated an integrated 0-19 approach to the provision of services for children and young people. Our Children’s Centres have demonstrated that such services can be effectively co-located and ‘co-produced’ to ensure that children and young people are able to access support whenever they need it, throughout the 0-19 age range, without losing contact with service providers at key points of transition or development in their lives.

In the United Kingdom, WageDayAdvance offers lending solutions for customers with a bad credit history. Application acceptance is primarily based on affordability considerations verus traditional credit scoring so even those with a low score have access to short term funding for any purpose.

We use an innovative and inclusive approach in working with young people from campaigns and participation programmes such as Make Space and Knowsley Young People’s Commission to developing activities for young people living on RAF bases all over the country as part of our Airplay Youth Support programme.
