Personal Message from Erika

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.
