The team’s support for this serves as a powerful illustration of social responsibility in practice. This charity is close to our hearts, having helped many of our staff, friends, and family in challenging times. We are honored to support such a meaningful cause and contribute to the Trust’s vital work.”
“We are delighted to receive this generous donation from the Options Team,” said Colin Bell, Executive Director of the Kevin Bell Repatriation Trust. “This support will help us to continue providing essential and immediate assistance to families during their most difficult times, and to raise awareness of the importance of our mission to bring loved ones home.”

About the Kevin Bell Repatriation Trust:
The Kevin Bell Repatriation Trust aims to alleviate the financial hardship of bereaved families repatriating the body (bodies) of loved one(s) who have died abroad in sudden or tragic circumstances back to Ireland.
KBRT was founded out of a family tragedy when, in June 2013, Kevin Bell died suddenly in New York. Following an outpouring of support from Kevin’s friends, family and colleagues, a significant amount of funds were raised to repatriate his remains back to Ireland. As a permanent legacy to Kevin, the Bell family decided to use the funds to establish a charity to help other families who find themselves in a similar situation. Help comes in the form of financial support as well as advice and guidance on getting the remains of loved ones home as soon as possible.
KBRT is a volunteer organisation, led by Colin Bell and a team of volunteer Trustees. KBRT is regulated by the Charity Commission in Northern Ireland (NIC100314) and Irish Charity Regulator (20102937).
