Here to Support Families and Create Safer Roads

The ELY Memorial Fund is dedicated to supporting families in Herefordshire who have tragically lost a young loved one, between the ages of 17 and 25, in a road traffic collision. Our mission is to provide education on road safety, compassionate care and financial assistance through our two key initiatives.

Together, and in collaboration with likeminded charities, we strive to support families in their darkest moments and work towards creating safer roads for everyone.

Financial & Compassionate Assistance

We offer immediate support with our 'Hugs Pack', providing up to £4,000 towards funeral costs, alongside guidance and resources to help families navigate this difficult time.

Our 'Hugs Pack'

Young Driver Education

We are committed to preventing future tragedies by educating young drivers aged 14-17 through our Young Driver Education events. These programmes equip young people with vital road safety skills and awareness with the aim of reducing collisions on our roads.

Founded in Love, Driven by Purpose

The ELY Memorial Fund was created in memory of Emma Louise Young to support bereaved families in Herefordshire. Emma was taken from us far too soon, but her memory lives on through the charity, helping families in need and working to prevent future tragedies on our roads.
