Charlie's Angels provides free services and support for parents and families affected by the death of a child, be it through stillbirths, terminations, accidents, violence, illness or suicide.

The charity was named in memory of Carrie-Ann Curtis' son Charlie, who died in December 2012 from a rare condition called Potter's Syndrome.
