Welcome from the Chairman

For a vulnerable child, receiving the support of the Reed’s Foundation is truly a life-changing opportunity. We work with children who have suffered considerable trauma and provide them with an excellent education. Most importantly, we provide them with specialist pastoral care in a safe and nurturing environment. This instils in them the self-confidence and self-belief needed to succeed and thrive in today’s world.

Providing a bursary is about more than a financial agreement, its about transforming lives and creating brighter futures. We are proud to be working with @RNCSF17 to offer transformational bursaries to students who have lost the support of one or both parents. #changinglives https://t.co/lQ0wzgdeex
