The Reedham Trust is a grant making body, which supports children who, through the death or disablement of one or both parents are in urgent need of assistance and care, or who because of their circumstances are at risk or cannot be cared for adequately in their home environment.

The BWCF has made a grant of £30,400 a year for a period of 3 years, for the funding of education for up to 4 emergency cases. A visit was made recently to a boarding school in Somerset to see the progress of one young girl who is there via a BWCF grant. The difference this programme has made, not only educationally, but in her attitude and well being is wonderful to see. She is gradually coming to accept that she can lead a normal and happy life like her peers.

There are many more cases, this is just the tip of the iceberg.
