Jubilee Action is a registered charity, which began in 1992. It was developed from the effective human rights lobby group Jubilee Campaign, which itself was launched in parliament by David Alton in 1987.

We have achieved much in a few years. We always aim not to duplicate others' work but to work where little support exists and where our resources can have the highest return. The Working Globally section gives a description of the projects that we support around the world. Historically, our work has concentrated on the front-line tasks of defending and caring for vulnerable children and families who are at risk of abuse, intimidation or persecution.

More recently, we have expanded our work to incorporate the idea of Business Partnerships to tackle endemic poverty. We believe that this model will be powerfully effective in breaking the legacy of inherited poverty for entire communities.

Our experience has also taught us of the importance of educating and inspiring the public to get involved in the struggle for justice. That is why we launched our own human rights magazine, Just Right to do just that. With contributors including award-winning writers, photographers and film-makers, we have been delighted with the impact of this publication.

We believe in effective, life-giving partnerships. However, in order to achieve change, we need to forge partnerships with people prepared to meet that need. That is why we are asking people like you to become a Jubilee Partner and help us make a real difference.

The majority of Jubilee Action's income comes from individual supporters. It is this loyal and committed giving that has enabled us to do so much. Please contact us for a copy of our annual report.
