Henry van Straubenzee Memorial Fund

The trustees of The Henry van Straubenzee Memorial Fund have taken the decision to close the charity at the end of 2024.

This decision has not been taken lightly and in no way is the result of any financial difficulties. The key trustees of the charity will be over 70 years of age by the end of 2024 and feel that the time is right to close.

After 20 years of charitable activity, fundraising in the UK and project work in  impoverished rural areas of Uganda, we believe that our mission – Fighting poverty in Uganda through education – has been successful, thanks to the generosity of our donors and the support we received from our team and the many communities in Uganda. Most of all, we feel that the charity has left a long-lasting memorial to our son, Henry, and has helped our family overcome the grief of his loss.
