Coram was founded by sea captain Thomas Coram, who opened a hospital in 1739 to care for neglected street children. Today, Coram provides a range of services aimed at children and families, including adoption services, supported housing, a parents' centre, a family-support programme, an engagement programme for young men (Boys2Men), consultancy and training.
Where is it based?
The charity has its headquarters near Coram Fields in Bloomsbury, London. It is on the site of Thomas Coram's first foundling hospital and is today a park for children. As one of the UK's largest adoption services, Coram also has offices in East Anglia and the East Midlands.
