We are Elliot's Footprint

We are a charity that helps families through child bereavement.

We offer help and guidance whilst campaigning and fundraising for improved bereavement services.

We are working hard to take the loneliness and frustration out of the systems and processes that families face in the aftermath of losing a child.

The charity is a legacy to Elliot who died unexpectedly aged 2 years 9 months old in March 2013.

Find Out Who We Are

To mark the 12th anniversary of Elliot's passing Elliot's mum and co-founder of the charity has taken the time to share her thoughts on what life without Elliot has been like for her family and how she found the strength to create the charity so that no other parent has to suffer in the same way.

In partnership with Child Bereavement UK Elliot's Footprint provides funding for a bereavement counsellor you helps familes following the sudden and unexpected loss of their child. To ensure that families continue to get the support they need it is vital that the funding for this role continues. In the interview Andrea describes how a team of eager runners are undertaking either the Manchester or Leeds 10k this year in a bid to raise money for the funding of our bereavement counsellor for several months. Maybe you would be interested in raising money by running for us too or supporting our runners by donating if you are able?

Please support our runners if you can, all pennies and pounds will be gratefully accepted and go straight to this worthy cause. See you at the start line!
