This article explains that SOS Children’s Villages UK is planning a significant strategic shift, including moving toward becoming an independent organization separate from the international federation it has long been part of. This decision follows a period of reflection on governance, values, and the evolving global context, and is intended to allow the UK organization to better align its work, partnerships, and priorities while continuing to support vulnerable children and families. It further emphasizes that their work in the UK has developed to focus more on helping families around the world stay together, and ensuring children are well supported within their families and communities – rather than providing direct care to children through the historic ‘Villages’ model of family-like care.
