Marie Collins Foundation

In 2009 the Marie Collins Foundation was created to develop an organisation to help equip professionals with the knowledge and understanding they need to respond to children who have been abused via the internet and mobile technologies. By 2011, it was clear that there was a dearth of understanding and professional expertise regarding the needs of this specific group of children and the decision was made to apply to the Charities Commission for charitable status.

Our Vision: All children who suffer sexual abuse via the internet and mobile technologies are enabled to recover and live safe and fulfilling lives

Our Aim: To ensure that the response to children and their families who have suffered harm via the internet and mobile technologies is based on sound, evidence based practice.

MCF is registered as a private limited company by Companies House (company number 7657115) – and on the 19th October 2011 it was granted charitable status (charity registered number: 1144355).
