About us

The Royal Caledonian Education Trust is Scotland’s Armed Forces Children’s charity.

We began in 1815 and we put Armed Forces children and their families at the heart of everything we do. Find out more about our history.

We seek a world where Scottish Armed Forces children are enabled to reach their full potential and for some, they need that bit of extra support and help. Whether it’s providing financial assistance to help with school uniforms or providing resources, advice and training for teachers to use in schools, we are absolutely committed to giving Armed Forces children every opportunity to achieve and thrive.
