What the charity does
Action for Children's Arts was established in 1998 by a group of children's arts professionals in response to the perceived lack of support of and recognition for the importance of the arts for children. It was then - and still is - the only organisation in the UK dedicated to the promotion, development and celebration of all the creative and performing arts for and with children aged 0-12 years.
