The Children's Society decided to reject a Christmas donation from the outgoing Archbishop of Canterbury, citing the need to remain consistent with their support for victims of child sexual abuse.
Mark Russell, chief executive of The Children's Society, noted that the decision came after careful consideration of the association's commitment to survivors of abuse.
The Archbishop's resignation followed a period of criticism regarding the Church of England's handling of child abuse allegations, raising ethical questions about accepting donations.
Welby's donation was intended as goodwill in support of children affected by exploitation, but the charity felt this gesture did not align with its mission after his resignation.
