Just over a year after Joseph died, Neil (Joseph’s father) began to think about ways to help other families.
The Trust offers financial assistance to parents bereaved of a child in the Huddersfield and Mirfield areas.
100% of a donation given to us by an individual will go entirely to the families who need it most.
"No one can prepare themselves for the pain and heartache of losing a child."

by Neil on Aug.10, 2010, under In The Press
GENEROUS strangers have come to the aid of a Huddersfield charity that was hit by thieves.
As reported on Wednesday, Alan and Lorraine Salmon’s Edgerton home was burgled overnight on Monday.
One of the items snatched was a laptop holding the accounts of Marsh charity The Joseph Salmon Trust. Mr Salmon is a treasurer for the charity.
The trust was started in 2008 by his son and daughter-in-law, Neil and Rachael Salmon, whose three-year-old son, Joseph, died as a result of pneumonia in 2005.
It helps other families in Huddersfield and Mirfield who have lost children pay for funeral and related costs.
Neil Salmon pleaded for the ASUS Netbook computer to be returned.
But now a couple from Marsden have offered to pay for the charity to get a replacement laptop.

They took two flat screen televisions and jewellery during the raid, which was discovered when their son, Mark, went to check on the house on Wednesday.
A laptop computer containing the accounts for Marsh-based charity The Joseph Salmon Trust was also stolen in the incident.
