Catholic Children's Society (Shrewsbury Diocese) was founded in 1889 as part of the then Catholic Children's Rescue Movement. Its key purpose was to place children with adoptive families to ensure a loving home and a place to thrive.

Nowadays, inspired by the same vision of seeking the best for children and their families, we work in a variety of areas to bring this vision to life.
