The Griffin Law Charitable Foundation was created by our founder to support national and international charities that fit with the Foundation’s ethos and pre-established requirements. Each month, the trustees of the Foundation meet to discuss how to dispense up to £1,000 to good works that may benefit from our funding. This month’s grants were made to causes dedicated to enhancing the lives of children and sick and premature babies.

The charity fundraises in order to buy the highly specialised and sophisticated equipment needed to care for sick and premature babies, looking after approximately 1,000 babies a year.

Stacey, a friend, had a totally normal pregnancy and was due at the beginning of February. Stacey went into labour and gave birth to Baby Olivia. Unfortunately, there were complications and Baby Olivia only survived for 48 hours. The family is raising money for the special care unit that supported Baby Olivia, Stacey and her partner, Tom.
