Reedham Children's Trust is a charity organization that has been helping children for nearly 180 years. The non-profit company is based in Purley, UK. The organization began as one of the first orphanages for fatherless children. The British company provides mentoring for many young people in partnership with Legacy. The Croydon Schools Engagement Programme is one of their initiatives that support vulnerable young people in schools who are at risk of exclusion, expulsion, social isolation, or already in alternative education. The project is led by a dedicated Schools and Community Engagement Officer and a specialist Youth Worker. The programme will help remove the barriers that many young people from disadvantaged communities face when accessing additional support outside school. The company was founded in 1844 by Andrew Reed. Sarah Smart has been the CEO of the company since 2017.
