J.K. Rowling’s charity supporting children and families is Lumos.
Lumos is an international charitable organization founded by Rowling in 2005. It works to end the institutionalization of children and promote family-based care, including support for relatives, foster families, and community services.
The organization was originally called the Children’s High Level Group. Rowling became involved after reading a newspaper article about children living in institutions, and the group later adopted the name Lumos, referring to a light-producing spell in the Harry Potter books.
Lumos is not a general literacy charity and is distinct from Comic Relief or BBC Children in Need. Its work focuses on changing care systems so children can grow up in families or family-like environments rather than large institutions.
