Explanatory Note

(This note is not part of the Order)

This Order gives effect to a Scheme of the Charity Commissioners for the regulation of the Charity known as The Royal Philanthropic Society.

The Charity was founded in 1788 to care for the poor children of convicted felons and for children who had engaged in criminal practices. It was incorporated by Act of Parliament of 1806, and is now regulated by that Act and further Acts of 1823 and 1848.

The Scheme replaces those Acts. It contains a revised statement of the objects of the Charity, and makes new provision for its administration, including wider powers of investment.
