Giving Day 2025

Thank you for supporting our Giving Day

As Giving Day ended at 5pm on Thursday 18th December , we were just short of reaching our £300,000 target, but we were all still over the moon with the huge total raised and celebrated your achievements in the office. We wish you could have been there too.

HOWEVER….

The story of Giving Day doesn’t end there. Just as we logged off for the evening, a supporter got in touch to say they would like to make a large donation. As the matched funding pot still had funds in it, we kept the campaign page open and this donation was added to the total.

We are so pleased to announce, that together you have raised over…. £306,000!!!

We are overjoyed, humbled, and beyond grateful. A huge amount of much-needed money was raised in a very short time, meaning we will end the year on a high, feeling very much loved and supported by our community.

This now means that together, you have funded one whole year of bereavement and social work support for people and families who are struggling with the loss of a loved one. What an incredible gift this Christmas and a very special way to end the year. Thank you so, so much.

We’ll keep our campaign page open until the end of 2025, so anyone who hasn’t had the chance to give can still donate. While donations will no longer be doubled, every gift will be truly appreciated and will make a real difference.

How your donations can make a difference

All the money raised supported the very important work of our bereavement support and social work teams. They worked with adults and children before, during, and after the death of a loved one, offering emotional and practical support at the toughest of times. Watch our videos below to meet some of the families who benefited from these services. Your Giving Day donation supported them and hundreds of others like them.

Thank you.
