About

National Funeral Help is a charity which was founded by 3 individuals who had all suffered bereavements in their own ways. Firstly, Nigel, who whom lost 2 baby boys in a house fire many years ago, living on his own had to grieve alone with nobody there to understand what he was going through. then only five years ago lost his wife after battling cancer for many years, to find that after being a full time carer he was the one, now alone needing care. At the time when he needed support day or night there was no one there for him. He suffered on his own for many years to come, but had found a group of individuals who had also lost members of their families but could not grieve due to their circumstances. Secondly, there is Israr who had lost has grandma at the early stages of covid-19 lock down, this meant he could not go to see his very dear and close grandma in hospital as she was suffering from a long term illness. Sadly, she had passed away and left Israr to grieve but only with his immediate family. Lastly, Yunas, who also lost his uncle during the early stages of lock down. His dearly beloved uncle suffered from 1 in 10 million disease, which doctors around the world could not identify why this had happened to him, thus could not give a name to his condition; his symptoms were Parkinson like along with dementia. They had advised the family he would only live for 9 months, but survived an astonishing 14 years, till his condition had reduced him into a fragile father, son and uncle to all. Through these difficult period the 3 individuals decided that many more individuals and families will be going through something very similar if not the same situation and then decided to start a charity which was out there for the public and community to provide support and relief to all during a bereavement. Fundraising has been a challenge due to covid-19 and lock down rules and regulations, but by coming up with different fundraising ideas they are hoping to raise the funds needed to continue to provide support to the communities. They were hoping to organise several events through-out this year like afternoon tea, Zumba party night, auctions to hold in a restaurant and other ideas which the volunteers and management came up with and hoping to make these into annual events through-out the year. They believe events are the best way of raising money as people are getting something for their money, at the same time as raising money for a fantastic cause. So it’s a Win! Win, for all.
