How to Apply - The First Step
Royal National Children’s Foundation helps vulnerable children in Great Britain whose circumstances are seriously prejudicial to their normal development and where no other care is available.
These are young people who usually have one or no active parents and whose normal development is compromised or threatened by adverse home, school or family circumstances.
- This situation can arise through the death or serious ill health of one or both parents, divorce, separation and abnormal or particularly adverse home conditions.
- The child will be aged between 7 to 18 years.
- The most suitable schooling for the majority of these young people will be at boarding school though day school will be considered as an exceptional alternative for the younger child aged between 7 and 13 years.
- The charity supports the social need not the educational preference
- The child will be from families who cannot meet the cost of such education unaided.
To consider an application, the Foundation seeks to ensure that:
- The home or school circumstances are seriously prejudicial to the normal development of the child.
If you think a child's circumstances fall within the above criteria, contact us by telephone: 01932 868622 Or email [email protected]
Please be assured that your enquiry will be dealt with in a sympathetic and confidential manner. Enquiries are welcome from families and professionals. Our aim is to reach and help many more vulnerable children.
