Royal National Children's Foundation helps vulnerable children and young people in Britain whose circumstances are seriously prejudicial to their normal development and where no other care is available. The Charity helps by providing grants and boarding school places for children aged 7 - 18 who have suffered trauma, tragedy or neglect in their young lives. These are young people who usually have one or no active parents, whose normal development is compromised or threatened by adverse home, school or family circumstances. They can also provide information about grant making trusts for children of clergy and overseas workers.
