A little bit about us:

Mercy in Action is a UK registered charity (1096068) working with children, their families and communities in the UK and the Philippines.

In the UK, our Petra Project provides nurturing homes for young mums and their babies and young people, who would otherwise be facing homelessness. In the Philippines, our work centers around helping children to regain lost years by providing residential care, a schooling program and a drop-in centre for street children. Our professional staff works tirelessly to reunite families and enable them to have a future together.

Our newest Bath-based projects, the Clothesline and Action Pantry, provide food and clothing to local families.

Our growing network of Mercy in Action Charity shops raises essential funds for maintaining and expanding these projects, enabling us to support those most in need.
