Save the Children (EU Office)

The EU Office’s mission is to advocate children’s rights with the EU Institutions and Member States, so that the EU maximises its positive impact on children across the globe and protects children’s rights in all its action. Save the Children’s strong presence in Brussels and in many of the Member States allows us to influence the EU at the centres of policy and decision making across Europe.

Advocacy for change
The EU Office focuses on the EU’s internal and external affairs to achieve positive change in our priority areas, such as the Every One campaign on child survival and health, child protection in emergencies, migration and child rights governance. Our advocacy draws on the extensive expertise of Save the Children national organisations and programmes. We also work together with other organisations, including United Nations bodies and NGOs and enjoy pro bono support from major international law firms based in Brussels.

Alongside the Advocacy Team in Brussels, our Partnership Management Team works to strengthen the coordination of SC’s fundraising efforts towards EU by establishing a broad-ranging partnership with both EuropeAid and ECHO. The partnership management team represents all Save the Children members that raise EU funds.
