Charitable Trusts

The income we receive from Charitable Trusts is essential to the delivery of our projects across the UK. Our Trust and Foundation partners make significant contributions to our services, allowing us to support bereaved children, young people, parents, and families.

Trust donations can be used to support specific projects, or can contribute towards the work of the charity more generally. The continued successful delivery of many of our projects relies on the generosity of our philanthropic partners.

Get in touch

If you would like to discuss donating through a Trust please contact our Trusts and Fundraising team.

We can provide a range of support and engagement opportunities, including annual reports, service visits, quarterly charity updates, and meetings with project and charity staff.

Your support will help us to deliver high-quality, free bereavement support to children, young people, parents, and families across the UK, when a child dies or when a child grieves. Please get in touch if you can help.
