Reedham Children's Trust is a children's charity founded as The Asylum for Fatherless Children by philanthropist Reverend Dr. Andrew Reed in 1844.[1] The trust continues to provide support to disadvantaged and vulnerable children and young people in Croydon, South London.
History
[edit]In 1851, Queen Victoria bought a life nomination for HRH the Prince of Wales, who was 10 at the time, for £262 and 10 shillings. This allowed him to select an orphan to be cared for by the orphanage.[2][failed verification]
In 1858, the Lord Mayor of London inaugurated a newly constructed orphanage in the Surrey Hills, now known as Purley, which provided both care and education. The children were relocated from Richmond, London to this new facility, later called Reedham Orphanage.
In 1950, the home was renamed Reedham School, but it closed in 1979 due to changes in how the state approached social care and education. The proceeds from selling the land were used to establish a new charity, Reedham Children’s Trust, which began offering grants to support vulnerable and disadvantaged children attending boarding schools.[3][4][5]
