I assume this must be the charity of that name.
I was trying to find out when it was founded, but no luck.
The thing is that, for those of us of a certain age, “Every child” is a shorthand for family planning & birth control – short for “Every child a wanted child”
Back in the 1960s & 1970s it was assumed that there would be no more unmarried mothers or married mothers worn down by too much child bearing if only reliable contraceptives (especially the new miracle pill) were available freely to all, so there would be no more accidental or unplanned or unwanted pregnancies.
I noticed in the obituary of Jennifer Worth, the author of the highly successful Call The Midwife trilogy, that the numbers of very large families in the London’s East End did indeed fall dramatically with the introduction of the pill, so at least one half of the prediction came true.
