OUR LATEST funded projects
bereft bereavement counselling
Bereft Bereavement Support has received a grant from MuchLoved Charitable Trust to support its work with bereaved people in Ealing.
Bereft helps adults living in the community who have experienced the loss of a loved one, regardless of their circumstances. Through thoughtful and supportive counselling sessions, they provide a safe and compassionate space for people to talk about their grief, helping them navigate the challenges of bereavement and feel less alone.
The grant will help Bereft continue providing counselling throughout the coming year, ensuring more bereaved people in Ealing can access the support they need.
Equity in Grief Festival
MuchLoved Charitable Trust has given a grant towards the cost of funding the Equity in Grief and Living Well Festival that took place in September 2026.
The festival is run by Efficacy EVA, which works to improve experiences for people affected by grief, loss and bereavement. It brings together diverse voices and lived experiences to explore more equitable approaches to grief and living well. Festival goers shared stories, discovered ways to support one another and imagined a future where everyone feels seen, heard and valued.
The grant helped make the 2026 festival possible, raising awareness and challenging inequalities in grief support.
Lantern Connect
MuchLoved Charitable Trust is proud to support Lantern Connect, an online community for people who have been bereaved by a road crash.
The MuchLoved grant will help fund the development of a secure digital community, providing a safe and supportive space for bereaved adults across the UK. The community will be supported by trauma-informed moderators, safeguarding expertise and people with lived experience of this type of loss.
Lantern Connect aims to create a welcoming online space where people can connect with others who understand, share their experiences and support one another for as long as they need.
breathe.move.heal
Breathe.Move.Heal has received a grant from the MuchLoved Charitable Trust to provide six months of accessible and culturally sensitive grief support for women in East London.
Breathe.Move.Heal works to give women experiencing grief a safe place to go, helping to reduce isolation, build meaningful connections and develop practical ways to navigate their grief. Many of the women they support face cultural, language or practical barriers to accessing mainstream bereavement services, so being able to offer this support within trusted community spaces is particularly important.
The grant will enable them to continue running their Grief Café and expand their Grief Movement and new Creative Grief & Art sessions, and strengthen their work as a sustainable, community-based support organisation.
Little wings of hope
Little Wings of Hope has received a grant from MuchLoved Charitable Trust to support bereavement breaks for bereaved parents and families after baby loss.
Little Wings of Hope is a baby loss charity which provides practical and emotional support to families. Its bereavement breaks are specially designed as a chance for bereaved parents to step away from daily stresses, reconnect with themselves, and begin the journey of recovery following the loss of a baby.
The grant will fund seven bereavement breaks, offering those families valuable time and space for healing and rest in a supportive and nurturing environment.
quiet waters bereavement cafe
Quiet Waters has received a grant from MuchLoved Charitable Trust to support the pilot of a Bereavement Cafe for a 12-month period.
Quiet Waters helps bereaved people to find a “new normality” with meaning and purpose in life as they move forward. They offer one-to-one listening support in a safe and confidential environment, as well as support groups where sharing with others can lessen the sense of isolation.
The grant will enable Quiet Waters to pilot the Bereavement Cafe, giving newly bereaved people an opportunity to meet others, share their experiences and feel less alone.

Applying for a grant
Grief touches every community, but it’s often the grassroots projects run by passionate changemakers that offer meaningful care, education and support. Whether you’re providing peer support, exploring creative expression, developing educational materials or simply creating a safe space to grieve, your work matters to us. We believe in the impact you can have. That’s why we have developed a grant funding stream to help initiatives like yours grow, sustain and reach those who need it.
If your grassroots bereavement project is working with bereaved individuals or communities, we invite you to apply.
To be eligible for a grant, the organisation or initiative must be UK-based with an income of less than £200,000, and hold a named organisational bank account. Grants can be used to support vital running costs to sustain services during funding shortages or for the development and testing of new ideas or initiatives. MuchLoved Grants are normally between £500 and £2,000, although we will consider other amounts.
To arrange an informal discussion about your project, please contact Catherine Betley, Head of Charity, at catherine.betley[at]muchloved[dot]com. To request an application form, email support@muchloved.com.
