Forgotten Children Background

Forgotten Children is the public face and brand of The Peter Jones Foundation, which is registered as a charity in England and Wales (Registration number: 1110288).

The motivation behind the Forgotten Children charity is a desire to help youngsters who, for whatever reason, fall outside of the vast network of support and aid offered by other charities and organisations in the UK.

Our objective is simple: to identify Forgotten Children and use the money we raise to help in whatever way we can. This may be by providing direct financial assistance to the child's carer, or it may be by providing an existing charity or support organisation with the funds or a grant that will provide or contribute to the right kind of help. The charity's focus is Children in the UK.

In 2005/6, the first year of 'Forgotten Children', our objectives are:

• To raise £250,000 to support the work of the charity
• To identify and provide support to 10 separate projects within the UK in accordance with the charity’s objectives
• To extend and develop 'Forgotten Children's' network of volunteers and fundraisers
• To communicate and update on all aspects of the charity's work through regular communications to supporters and via the web site (currently being developed)
