ACT - the Association for Children's Palliative Care is a UK-registered charity which is striving to achieve the best quality of life and care for all children and young people with life-threatening or life-limiting conditions and their families.

ACT has three strands to its work:

• campaigning for the development of integrated, equitable and sustainable children's palliative care services.

• working with professionals to develop best practice and develop and disseminate the evidence base of what works best.

• empowering and supporting families, including young people, to have a voice in the development of children's palliative care services and providing them with the information they need to access the best care and support.
