Royal Wanstead Children's Foundation

For Credit/Debit Card donations

The Royal Wanstead Children’s Foundation needs your support to help more of the hundreds of vulnerable children who are neglected and at risk.

We currently provide grants at over 100 boarding schools throughout England and Wales to support 260 needy children. These children have usually suffered much deprivation in life and we can only begin to transform their lives with your financial support. Donations will contribute towards boarding grants allowing each child to benefit from the stability and pastoral care these boarding schools offer.

We are a highly effective charity with just three full-time employees so your donation really gets to those children who need it. Volunteers undertake much of our work and we don’t waste money.

There are tax-efficient ways for you, or your company to support this amazing cause, so please try to help us. We can advise on direct debit subscriptions or including the Foundation in your Will.

Please give what you can, when you can.

“I am writing to say how much I appreciate all the help you have given me for my school. I am very happy at boarding school and I have made a lot of wonderful friends. My friends come and stay with me at my grandparents’ house at weekends and I go to theirs.

My school has really helped me enormously with my work which I enjoy doing. They have encouraged me with my music. I have just taken my exam for my piano and passed and they are now arranging for me to take my next exam on my flute for my grade 7. I enjoy all of my music and when we go back to the boarding house I enjoy the spare time with my friends”

“Thank you again for your continued support which has been so vital to us over the years. On a personal note I have had a reccurrence of my cancer, this time in my lungs. I am fighting it hard and am optimistic, but it does mean that your support comes at a time when it is needed more than ever”

“S is a typical fourteen year old with all the highs and lows that seem to go with adolescence! We had a very difficult summer holiday last year, which I feel was caused by the readjustment to her new life in Cornwall. S is particularly sensitive to change and it did take a lot of time and reassurance for her to begin to settle down. The school was thoroughly supportive of my efforts. S went through almost a year of youth counselling mainly over the bereavement of her mother. On the whole she seems to have come out with renewed enthusiasm and I am hopeful we may have turned a corner”

“Thank you to everyone who sponsored me. If it wasn’t for you I wouldn’t be at this school. I am doing well and I am enjoying it. I can’t believe that this year has gone so fast. I will keep in touch with you. Thanks again for everything”.
