We have been supporting boarding places for young people for 70 years. We have seen that boarding can support a child's developmental needs through providing routine, increased stability and emotional and social support.

We can support with educational costs for children where at least one parent is, or has recently been, a sales representative, selling business to business, with a significant element of travel and whose family circumstances have been affected by adversity.

We are a British national children's educational charity, which provides funding for the needy British children of Merchant Navy seafarers, professional sea-going fishermen and RNLI lifeboat crew members, who have served or are serving at sea and who are unable to meet their children's educational needs. Our Patron is HM The Queen and our President is HRH The Duke of Edinburgh, KG, KT, OM.

The Naval Children's Charity is the only charity dedicated to supporting children whose parents work, or have worked, for the Naval Service.

The RMF assist GMC registered doctors and their families who have a proven financial need due to little in the way of income or savings. We can provide assistance with school fees for children of GMC registered doctors enabling them to maintain educational stability in times of distress. Assistance is mainly considered for those in their public examination years.

Non-educational financial assistance, both regular and one-off awards, are also considered for GMC registered doctors, or their widows, widowers and children who have a proven financial need.
