The Thomas Coram Foundation for Children is a large children's charity in London which uses the working name Coram (formerly Coram Family).

It is one of England's oldest children's charities, established by royal charter in 1739 as the Foundling Hospital.

Activities

Coram's mission is to develop, deliver and promote best practice in the support of children and young people.

Coram's headquarters are at Brunswick Square in London, but they work with children and young people across the UK and beyond. Coram offers the following services:

Coram is a registered a voluntary adoption agency, helping create families for life. The Creative Therapy service uses art and music therapy to transform the lives of vulnerable children. These therapies are based on Coram's rich musical and artistic heritage - the composer Handel and the artist Hogarth were two of Coram's earliest supporters.

They also operate a Supported Housing service to help give young homeless people secure accommodation and ongoing support to restore their hope and protect them from the dangers their precarious situation may have exposed them to, such as sexual exploitation and violence.
