ARC emerged as an organisation in the mid 1990’s. Since then we have worked with a number of leading Russian charities who have introduced and implemented breakthrough solutions in childcare and rehabilitation. The projects we fund have transformed the lives of thousands of Russian children and their families by providing therapies, rehabilitation, legal advice, psychological support, life skills and professional training to child care providers.

The initial mission of ARC was to provide volunteers, donations and assistance to State orphanages. In time the focus shifted, as it became clear that the prevention of children entering institutional care was what was really needed. Instead ARC volunteers started to work with Russian charities who were providing child-centered care in a community and family orientated environment. ARC began to provide material donations, advice with fundraising and assistance with grant applications, often establishing the first link between these NGOs and potential sponsors. ARC also raised its own funds and began a system of awarding annual financial grants.

ARC was officially registered as a UK charity in 1997 and the projects that we support today are dynamic and effective examples of the best available care for children with special needs. Many projects supported by ARC have grown considerably in scope offering leading therapies, rehabilitation and advice for disadvantaged children and their families. Some have been recognised as models of best practice and are being replicated in other parts of Russia.
