Thank you for considering fundraising for us. AtaLoss does something unique. We provide the UK's signposting website to help bereaved people find the support. You may not realise how important all this is unless you have lost someone special yourself and have tried to find appropriate support.

We don't think people should have to pay for the support they need so our service is free to those in need.

Why do we need to raise funds?

Over the years, we have received generous support from a number of trust funds and donors who value what we do and have helped us to get this far. Unfortunately, in the post pandemic period, funding is in short supply. With our help, people can get early support and avoid developing mental ill health and many other problems that can impact lives if grief is unsupported. We also provide an invaluable resource to professionals working with people who have lost someone. Yet, to date, we receive no public funds for what we do. So we continue to have to work very hard to bridge the gap.

Your support could make all the difference.

Fundraising ideas

Fundraising really works when you do something you really enjoy doing. So when you are deciding what you want to do, think about that- what do you really love to do? Is it running or cycling? Is it baking or playing the piano? Is it walking or dancing? Is your garden a picture? Do you like growing things? Are you a great organiser?

Whatever it is, enlist the help of a few friends and get it going. The trick is to have fun - raising the funds will come easily when you do! here are a few more ideas:
