Queen Elizabeth's Foundation for Disabled People

Queen Elizabeth's Foundation for Disabled People

Queen Elizabeth's Foundation for Disabled People (QEF) is a national disability charity based in Surrey. We have more than 85 years’ experience of developing innovative services which support almost 10,000 disabled people a year to increase their independence and achieve their goals in life.
We work with children and adults with physical and learning disabilities or acquired brain injuries. Whether it’s developing life skills to live as independently as possible, neuro rehabilitation to rebuild a life after a brain injury, or learning to drive a specially adapted car, we support each person to increase their independence.
We offer a wide range of expert services providing support and advice, specialist care, neuro rehabilitation and development of life skills that make a real difference to disabled people’s lives.
As a charity we rely on the goodwill of our supporters to raise funds or give their time to assist us. We are very grateful to everyone that supports our work in this way. 

Our Vision

A world of protection and opportunity for children living alone and at risk on the streets.

Railway Children is an international children's charity. We fight for vulnerable children who live alone at risk on the streets, where they suffer abuse and exploitation.

In the UK, society often denies their existence, and in other countries the problem is so prevalent that it has become 'normal'.

They run away or are forced to leave homes where they suffer poverty, violence, abuse and neglect. They find themselves living on the streets because there is nowhere else to go and no one left to turn to. The problems they face on the streets are often even worse than those they endured at home. Every day we fight to change their story.

Railway Children race to reach children as soon as they arrive on the streets and intervene before an abuser can. Our pioneering work enables us to get to street children before the streets get to them.
