Object

The Society was established for the benevolent and charitable purpose of affording support to the children of deceased members of the Loyal Orange Institution of England . However, since the Society obtained charitable status in March 1998 from the charity Commissioners for England & Wales, the Society has endeavoured to help and assist not only other children's charities but also other well deserving causes. This has been the ambition of the Chairman, Officers and Trustees for many years and we are very proud of our achievement.

As a Children's Welfare Society we need to acknowledge the "RIGHTS OF OUR CHILDREN" by making decisions that affect their needs, and the Orange Institution in 1920, decided that as a principle, we should give financial assistance to the Orphans of our deceased members, and so the LOYAL ORANGE ORPHAN SOCIETY was founded. Today, the Society continues to stress the "RIGHTS OF OUR CHILDREN", to help and develop his or her own potential within their family and community and in their upbringing in a Christian Environment within the reformed faith.
