Layla’s Trust
The lasting legacy of Layla Mae Cotter 2010 - 2011
Layla’s Trust was created in memory of Layla who died 70 days after she was born from an incurable disease. For over a decade the Trust helped bereaved families and those who care for children with life limiting conditions and terminal illnesses. In 2023 the decision was taken to formally close the charity but create a lasting legacy by transferring the final assets of the charity to the Youth Trust.
In Layla’s memory
- We have created Layla’s Fund, a designated fund to support children and families affected by bereavement.
- We will deliver appropriate, timely counselling, therapeutic and wellbeing support to children and young people suffering from the loss and bereavement of a loved one or having a sibling/close connection to someone with a life limiting condition.
- We will listen to children, young people and their families and explore additional ways to support them through their grief and loss.
Please contact us if you would like to access the support available through Layla’s Fund. We will continue to fundraise in Layla’s memory to provide this dedicated service.
