The Child Migrants Trust was founded in 1987 by its Director, Margaret Humphreys CBE, AO, to address the devastating impact of British child migration schemes.
CMT is the only independent, professional organisation working with former child migrants from all migrating agency backgrounds.
The Trust firmly believes that every former Child Migrant should enjoy the same rights, responsibilities and opportunities as the vast majority of their fellow citizens.
This means that former Child Migrants need accurate information about their personal identity, their family and medical background. They should be fully informed about important matters like legal inheritance and citizenship, and have access to first class services, such as professional counselling to assist with recovery from damaging childhood experiences and for support with reunions and redress schemes.
The families of former Child Migrants also require a personal, skilled and professional service.
Many individuals and families have generously donated to maintain CMT’s services over the past three decades, and these gifts have been absolutely vital to the Trust’s survival.
As there is an urgent need to develop our services, we welcome further donations. To support our essential work, please donate here.
We also acknowledge and thank these organisations for funding CMT:
