About our Funds

The Yellow Heart Trust has two funds: Rob's Wish, and our General Fund.

The Antonio Vasconcellos Fund closed in 2019, having successfully awarded 51 grants - each in memory of someone who died on the Marchioness in August 1989. Yellow Heart continues to help beneficiaries suffering from complex PTSD through the General Fund.

The Rob's Wish Fund was created by Founder Alex Fontaine, shortly after Rob’s death in 2012. The aim of the fund is to support those suffering from addiction issues.
