The charitable Objects of The NFL Trust are the promotion of education of girls in accordance with Christian principles in schools and colleges in the United Kingdom, primarily by awarding bursaries to assist girls aged 11 to 18 to attend schools which charge fees.

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.

Christ's Hospital is a remarkable school; it is the UK's leading charitable school and largest bursary charity. The School was established in 1552 and provides free or substantially reduced cost places to over 630 of its 900 pupils each year. Our pupils come from every possible ethnic and socio-economic background, bringing a social and cultural diversity that enriches our school community, and makes us unlike any other independent school in the UK. Through first-class education and exceptional pastoral support, Christ's Hospital provides each pupil with stability and the opportunity to thrive and fulfil their potential. 98% of pupils go on to university and leavers take with them the confidence and resilience they will need to achieve success at university and beyond and to make a meaningful contribution to society.

Educational awards for single parent families when the child is over the age of 11, and for sixth form students with one or both parents. There must be a connection with the City of London either by the pupil attending a 'City' school or either parent having lived or worked in the 'City'.
