Who we are
Thai Children Foundation (TCF) is a charitable incorporated organisation (CIO) registered with the Charity Commission for England and Wales (Charity No. 1201643).
Our purpose is to relieve poverty, advance education and help create a better future for children and people in Thailand. We do this by giving grants to schools, community projects and charitable organisations across Thailand.
TCF is run entirely by volunteers. Our trustees are unpaid, so the money we raise goes towards our charitable work.
[KJ: add 1–2 sentences on how and why TCF was founded, from the old “Who We Are” text.]
How we work
- Raise funds in the UK – through donations, our Charity Lunch and fundraising stalls run by volunteers.
- Choose trusted partners – we check every grant applicant carefully before we fund them (due diligence).
- Fund specific needs – meals, equipment, teaching materials, care and emergency support.
- Partners report back to us – on how the grant was spent and the difference it made.
- We report to you – through our Annual Report and this website.
Our strategy
[KJ: paste/update the “Our Strategy” text from the old site. Suggested addition: “Since 2025 we have made larger grants to a small number of established partners, alongside emergency support, so that each grant makes a bigger difference.”]
