Support us

INQUEST is an independent non-governmental organisation and receives no money from the Home Office or the Ministry of Justice. INQUEST’s work is funded partly by grants, but the generous donations of INQUEST’s supporters are crucial.

Please help INQUEST to support bereaved families through the inquest system.

INQUEST’s 30th Anniversary Financial Appeal

INQUEST is marking 30 years of working for truth, justice and accountability after contentious deaths, and needs your help to continue its award-winning specialist casework service and its influential policy and campaigning work.

There has never been a greater demand for our service – but at the same time never greater pressure on our limited resources.

Thirtieth Anniversary fundraising events

Making a donation, no matter how big or small, will help us to maintain our work advising and supporting over 1,500 bereaved family members and friends per year. Each year we respond to 5,000 queries from policy makers, the media, parliamentarians and the general public, and on average have an open caseload of 350 cases at any time.

INQUEST is totally reliant upon donations and grants and that is why your help is crucial in maintaining our unique service. Without INQUEST’s active and sustained campaigning, controversial proposals like those for ‘secret’ inquests would have crept into law. Every supporter, any donation, will make a significant difference to our work.

You can help INQUEST financially by:

making an annual subscription as a supporter or affiliating to INQUEST;

making a donation as a one-off or as a direct debit – for any amount you choose;

subscribing to our legal journal Inquest Law magazine;

buying our Publications;

encouraging your family and friends to support us too.

By becoming a supporter of INQUEST you can make a regular contribution to our work. Supporters will receive Annual reports on our activities, achievements and matters of concern as well as our E-newsletter if you include an email address.
