The objectives of the Charity are: -

• to promote the preservation of mental health, and
• to assist in relieving and rehabilitating persons suffering from mental disorder or conditions of emotional or mental distress, through
• the provision of support to children and their families affected by bereavement, trauma and other emotional and mental health issues in the United Kingdom.

Grant Making

The Charity has established its grant making policy to achieve its mission, aims & objects for the public benefit, in particular by funding support for children and their families affected by bereavement, trauma and other emotional and mental health issues. Whilst the Charity's objectives enable it to further these purposes throughout the United Kingdom, the Charity currently focuses its activities within Luton and Bedfordshire. Going forward and in line with best practice, the Charity will review its grant making policy annually to ensure that it reflects the Charity's objectives and thereby advances public benefit.
