Ormiston Families

Our historyOrmiston Families exists today because of one family’s tragedy.A young woman, Fiona Ormiston Murray, died whilst on her honeymoon. Fiona loved children and it was no secret that she was excited about starting her own family. Her family, devastated by their loss, wanted to do something to honour her memory. They created a charitable trust, devoted to helping children and families in need. That trust is now known as Ormiston Families.Why Ormiston FamiliesWe support families in the East of England to build resilience and make choices to improve the life chances of their children.Our vision“Safe, healthy, resilient families.”Our missionWe support families in the East of England to build resilience and make choices to improve the life chances of their children.Our valuesEverything we do is guided by our values of collaboration, compassion and effectiveness.
