Child Bereavement UK

We offer free, UK-wide, accessible online grief support to children and young people (up to 25) who are bereaved or facing the death of someone important, and the parents and carers of babies and children have died or are expected to die before their 26th birthday.

We also offer guidance and resources for those supporting bereaved families, whether a parent, family member or friend, as well as tailored advice, training, and education programmes for professionals.

Grief is unique as a fingerprint – no two experiences are the same. That’s why our bereavement specialists take the time to get to know and understand the needs of each individual grieving child, young person or parent and carer and offer the support that best suits their needs. Grief isn’t one-size-fits-all; so, neither are our support services.

Our services are digital first, making them accessible across the UK, and are available for children, young people and parents no matter how long they’ve been living with grief.

Our trained bereavement specialists are available Monday to Friday, 8am to 8pm (excluding bank holidays) by phone, email, text and WhatsApp or via our website. No appointment needed, just real-life support when it’s needed.

Right now, too many grieving children, young people and parents bereaved of a child are still facing their grief alone, without the support they need, when they need it most.

We are determined to change that. But we can’t do it without you.

You can ensure we can be there to offer expert care, compassion and understanding when it matters most. You can help someone feel less alone, find a way forward and begin to rebuild their life at their own pace. Together we can reach every bereaved child, every young person, and every parent grieving the death of a baby or child who needs us.
