Losing a child is devastating, but the financial strain that follows such a loss puts enormous pressure on the families we support. The Butterfly Fund is a one-off grant for any family who cared for a life-limited child and now needs support with funeral costs, memorials, household bills, or whatever is most needed during this difficult time.

The Summerfield Trust gave the Butterfly Fund a £2,145 grant to continue its work supporting parents in Gloucestershire who are grieving the loss of a child.

Lyndsey Matthews, Family Services Manager for the Butterfly Fund commented
