One Great Day: Fun Raising For Children

Reedham has always been a big part of my family’s lives. My dad, Ringo Atvars, attended the orphanage and boarding school from 1968-1973 alongside his brother Tali Atvars. My family have directly benefited from their selfless, wonderful work, and it is such an honour to raise much needed money for them to help this continue for many others!

Benefits of a boarding school education

If I hadn't have gone to boarding school then I probably wouldn't have carried on with education up to 'A' levels and wouldn't be focused on education in the way I am now. I found it easier to work when everyone around me was motivated.

What we do

Reedham Children's Trust helps children who are growing up in families struggling with poverty, illness, disability or abuse.

How we help [delete]

175 years ago, Reedham Childen's Trust was founded as The Asylum (orphanage) for Fatherless Children by the visionary Rev Dr Andrew Reed, one the great Victorian philanthropists and social reformers.

Where your money goes

Most of the families we work with are struggling to care for their children due to disability or long term mental or physical ill health; every penny raised goes directly towards transforming the lives of vulnerable children.
