We are a grant-making charity with a rich history of supporting children's causes.
Founded in 1985 under a formal Trust Deed, The Cissie Rosefield Charitable Trust was established with a clear mandate: to support charitable causes that improve children's lives. For nearly four decades, we have remained true to this vision, evolving our focus to meet the world's changing needs. Today, we concentrate our efforts on facilitating support for UNICEF's life-saving work.
We are governed by a formal Trust Deed and overseen by a board of experienced trustees. Our accounts are filed with the Charity Commission, ensuring full transparency and public accountability. We are a registered charity (No. 293177) and operate in accordance with the highest standards of UK charity law.
Our role is to facilitate, not collect. By sending supporters directly to UNICEF, we eliminate administrative fees and ensure that 100% of your donation goes to UNICEF's programmes. This approach also reduces our operational costs, allowing us to focus on what we do best: guiding donors and advocating for children's rights.
UNICEF is the world's leading children's organisation, working in over 190 countries to save children's lives, defend their rights, and help them fulfil their potential. We are proud to support UNICEF's work and to serve as a trusted bridge between UK donors and this vital global mission.
