Our member trusts are here to provide the support you need

Wispers Trust
Visit WebsiteWispers Trust was founded following the closure and sale of Wispers School for Girls, Haslemere. An investment portfolio was created for the dedicated purpose of providing an interest-profit base that would be used to assist pupils whose education in Years 10-11 (GCSE) or Years 12-13 (A2) would be compromised by parents or guardians being unable to pay the fees, through no fault of their own. Recipients have to be resident in Hampshire, Sussex, Surrey or London.

Naval Children's Charity
Visit WebsiteThe Naval Children's Charity is the only charity dedicated to supporting children whose parents work, or have worked, for the Naval Service.
The Mitchell City of London Charity and Educational Foundation
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'.

The Alexander Duckham Memorial Schools Trust
Visit WebsiteADMST offers support to the children of RAF personnel past and present. Eligibility is checked through the parent's service record. Parents can be biological, adoptive, guardians, or one who has no formal connection but has accepted financial responsibility for the child.
Thornton-Smith and Plevins Trust
We assist Sixth Form students to continue at their existing fee-paying school after a loss of family income due to an unexpected crisis. In most cases the school will already have agreed to provide significant financial assistance.
"Please pass on my very grateful thanks to the Trustees for the support given to my daughter. I am delighted to be able to tell you she gained A* A A for her A levels. She will be taking up her place at Cambridge to read Theology in 2015."
