Who does the Day for Life Fund help? 

The Day for Life Fund specifically gives financial assistance to organisations that work on life issues. These include but are not limited to:  

• Start of life 
• End of life 
• Grief relating to start or end of life issues 
• Pregnancy 
• Miscarriage 
• Hospice and terminal care 
• Dementia care 

We welcome applications from organisations that undertake work related to the above topics. If your organisation does something different, but you believe your work relates to life issues, you are still welcome to apply. 

How much can I apply for? 

We will be offering grants of up to £10,000 for project costs for specific projects to be undertaken over the course of a year. 

Grants will be dispersed and by the end of October 2025 and will require a report on the project’s outcomes by the end of September 2026. Any unspent money must be returned.
