Afterstone charity partners 2026

At Afterstone, people and planet come before profit. That isn't a tagline — it's how we make every decision. 

Every year we choose four charity partners and donate a percentage of eligible sales directly to them on behalf of our referral partners and the families they serve. 

We chose each charity carefully. They sit alongside the same families we serve and we are proud to support them.

Our 2026 Charity partners

 

FORCE Cancer Charity forcecancercharity.co.uk

NHS Royal Devon | FORCE cancer charityFORCE is Devon's leading local cancer support charity, providing free counselling, therapies and bereavement support to cancer patients and their families across Exeter and Devon. They are there not just during illness but in the quiet that follows.

We chose FORCE because they make such a difference to people of Devon, and because the families they support are exactly the families we exist to help.

 

Marie Curie mariecurie.org.uk

Marie Curie Logo | My Cause UKMarie Curie provides care, support and guidance to people living with terminal illness and to the families around them — across all conditions, not just cancer. They walk alongside families through some of the hardest moments of their lives.

We chose Marie Curie because their reach is national and their commitment to families is unwavering.  Marie Curie is our default charity — if no preference is stated for referral partners, 2026 donations go here.

 

Blue Cross bluecross.org.uk

Blue cross logoBlue Cross provides dedicated pet bereavement support to families who have lost an animal companion. They understand that the loss of a pet is a profound grief — one that deserves the same care and acknowledgement as any other.

We chose Blue Cross because pets are family too, and loss, including that of a pet, is at the heart of what Afterstone does, and because every family who loses an animal deserves support.

The Woodland Trust woodlandtrust.org.uk

Woodland Trust - New Scientist Live 2026The Woodland Trust protects and restores precious woods and trees across the UK — for wildlife, for people, and for the future. They offer the opportunity to dedicate trees and woodland in memory of a loved one, creating something living and lasting.

We chose the Woodland Trust because it reflects something we believe in deeply. Every Afterstone piece is made from natural ecological British materials. A memorial that comes from the earth, supported by a charity that protects it. Some families want their loved one to become part of something that grows. A tree can be a lasting memorial that breathes.
