Trusts and Foundations

Trusts and Foundations are fundamental in helping us support grieving children and young people. No matter the size of your organisation, you can make a difference. No child should have to face grief alone. Help us be there for them.

Support from Charitable Trusts is vital to our work

Last year, Winston’s Wish reached and impacted the lives of more than 82,000 children and young people. This would not have been possible without the support of Charitable Trusts and Foundations who fund specific projects, resources and core costs. Our partners allow us to help support bereaved children, young people and their families across the UK. Below are some of the ways Charitable Trusts and Foundations can fund our work and how you can contact us.

Your donation could support the vital running costs of our services, as well as specific projects and resources, ensuring that every bereaved child or young person can access help when they desperately need it.

Every day in the UK, children and young people lose someone important. This can be one of the most devastating and traumatic experiences that they will ever face.

Grief can destroy a child’s future – with your support, we can help make sure it doesn’t.
