Austin's charitable fund
This is a charitable fund, which has been established by the Austin family, in order to support and benefit the local community. Each year a local charity is selected by the Austin Family, as the beneficiary of the fund. The Company donates a proportion of its annual profits to the fund and any money raised during the year through events such as the Harwood Park Memorial Service and Christmas Carol Services.
A wide range of causes can benefit, with the primary focus on meeting social needs, such as:
- The welfare of disadvantaged children and families
- Providing activities and opportunities for young people
- Improving access to education,training and employment
- The quality of life of older people
Should you wish to assist us in supporting the local community in memory of your loved one, further information is available from all Austin’s funeral offices and Harwood Park Crematorium. Alternatively, you can download a donation form.
Our 2025 Supported charity is Young Lives vs Cancer
Austin’s are delighted to announce that our charity for 2025 is Young Lives vs Cancer.
Young lives vs Cancer help families working hard to provide support that’s easy to access and meets individual needs. They have six core principles which are:
- Day to day support from the moment of diagnosis,
- Financial support from grants and help with benefits and other support they are entitled to.
- Home from home providing personal care and support at home or arrange treatment to be given closer to home.
- Teens & Young adults, supporting young people not just to survive cancer but build their resilience so they can continue to learn and regain their confidence and be inspired to think beyond cancer.
- Bereavement support, helping young patients and families prepare for death. Encouraging them to think about how they can be remembered and help deal with their worries.
- Campaigning by listening to the young people on what they tell us and fighting on their behalf to ensure the right changes happen. Raising awareness of children and young people’s experiences and champion their voices to politicians and decision makers across the UK.
So, whether you want to fundraise by taking on a challenge, volunteering or campaign for them, Let’s help.
You can find out more information on their website.
