Trusts and Foundations

Why Trusts and Foundations are important

We currently do not receive any government or statutory funding for the work we do. Therefore, securing grants from trusts, funds and foundations play a vital role in funding the wellbeing support programmes that we offer. 

Philanthropic contributions to the Ella Dawson Foundation have a direct impact on the wellbeing of young adults, and their families, living with a cancer diagnosis.

What a donation means to us

For us, a partnership with Trusts and Foundations is about shared goals, values and missions and we value every Trust and Foundation that support us. The funding gained from Trusts and Foundations is vital for us to deliver our Feel Well, Eat Well and Move Wells programmes, take a closer look via our Support For You page.
