As we welcome 2026, I am filled with deep gratitude for what we have accomplished together and a renewed resolve to meet the challenges ahead. Thanks to the dedication of our staff, partners, advocates, and supporters, “Hope For Children” CRC Policy Center made meaningful strides this past year in advancing policies and practices that protect children and strengthen families.
In 2025, we expanded our policy research, elevated the voices of children and caregivers, and worked alongside community and national partners to push for systems that put children’s well-being first. Beyond research and advocacy, our organization provided specialized services, including case management, psychosocial support, child-focused interventions, and capacity-building for professionals working with vulnerable children. Each service is designed to respond to the complex needs of children who have experienced abuse, neglect, or exploitation. Together, these efforts ensure that children receive both protection and practical support on their path to healing.
This past year also reminded us of the power of collaboration. By bringing together policymakers, practitioners, and communities, we helped bridge gaps between policy and action. Our efforts reinforced a simple truth: lasting change for children happens when we listen, innovate, and work together with purpose.
At the same time, we cannot ignore the evolving risks facing children. Rapid technological change, emerging forms of exploitation, and persistent inequities demand thoughtful, proactive responses. As we move into 2026, “Hope For Children” CRC Policy Center is strengthening its analytical capacity, sharpening its policy agenda, and deepening partnerships to ensure we stay ahead of these challenges and advocate effectively for children’s safety, dignity, and well-being.
At the heart of our work remains an unwavering commitment to children and families. Every report we publish, every policy we inform, every service we provide, and every partnership we build is grounded in compassion, integrity, and hope for a safer future.
As we begin this new year, I invite you to continue this work with us. Engage with our research, access our services, share our findings, and lend your voice to policies that protect children and help them thrive. Together, we can ensure that progress in 2026, and beyond, truly serves the best interests of every child.”
Sincerely,
Andria Neocleous
