Our Intentions

Everything we do is guided by one simple belief:

that love will always win

Our Mission

Our vision is a future where every child has the opportunity to flourish, every family feels supported during life's most difficult moments and every community is strengthened through kindness, compassion and collaboration.

We believe lasting change happens when people come together with a shared purpose. By investing in children, supporting families and working alongside organisations already making a difference, we aim to create opportunities that have a lasting impact, strengthen communities and ensure Elsie's legacy continues to inspire generations to come.

Our Values

Everything we do is guided by the values that Elsie lived every day.

Kindness

Kindness sits at the heart of every decision we make. We believe even the smallest act of kindness has the power to make a meaningful difference.

COMPASSION

We understand that every family's journey is different. We listen with empathy, respond with care and always place children and families at the centre of our decisions

COMMUNITY

We believe communities are strongest when people support one another. By bringing together families, schools, businesses and local organisations, we can create opportunities that no one could achieve alone.

COLLABORATION

We believe in working together rather than working alone. By supporting organisations already making a difference, we can maximise our impact and ensure more children and families receive the support they need.

SUSTAINABILITY

Every decision we make considers not only the needs of today, but the opportunities we can create for future generations. We are committed to building a charity that continues to make a lasting difference for many years to come.

Our Approach to Creating Change

We believe meaningful change happens when people come together with a shared purpose.

Rather than creating services where excellent support already exists, we work alongside schools, charities and community organisations that are already making a positive difference. By funding programmes, supporting existing expertise and building long-term partnerships, we believe we can reach more children and make the greatest possible impact.

Alongside our partnerships, we provide grants directly to children, families and community initiatives where support is needed most. We know that every child and every family is different, and so are the challenges they face.

Sometimes a family may need practical support during an incredibly difficult time. Sometimes they may need access to specialist equipment or medical support.

Sometimes they may simply need the opportunity to spend precious time together, creating memories that will last a lifetime. Other times, we can make the greatest difference by supporting schools, charities or community organisations already delivering outstanding work for children.

Whatever the circumstances, every decision we make begins with the same question:

 

How can we make the greatest difference to this child's life?

We understand that not every challenge can be changed, but we believe thoughtful support, delivered at the right time, can make a meaningful difference. Every grant, every partnership and every initiative is guided by our commitment to ensuring Elsie's kindness lives on through the opportunities we create and the support we provide to children, families and communities.

Who We've Helped

Every grant we give is a chance to make a real difference to a child's life.

This is only possible because of our team, our supporters, and everyone who fundraises for us.
