The Anne Robson Trust is celebrating today after receiving a grant of £10,000 from the National Lottery Awards for All.

The Awards for All funding programme offers grants of between £300 and £10,000 for grassroots and community activity that aim to:

• Bring people together and building strong relationships in and across communities
• Improve places and spaces that matter to communities; and/or
• Enable more people to fulfil their potential by working to address issues at the earliest possible stage

Commenting on the donation, Anne Robson Trust CEO, Liz Pryor, said: “On behalf of everyone involved with the Anne Robson Trust, I am delighted to receive this generous donation from the National Lottery Awards for All grant programme. The money will be invested in expanding the rollout of our free national helpline, which is available to anyone facing the end of their life, or the loss of a loved one, and to expand and develop our ‘end of life’ volunteer support scheme, currently adopted through 11 partner NHS hospitals up and down the country.”
