ACT is an organisation working across the UK to achieve a better quality of life and care for every life-limited or life-threatened child or young person and their family.

ACT works with professionals and families to support these children and young people. They raise awareness about what families and children need, help professionals to deliver the best possible care and support, and provide families with information and help.

• ACT campaigns for improved provision of children's palliative care services.
