Child Bereavement UK

Child Bereavement UK supports families and educates professionals both when a baby or child of any age dies or is dying, and when a child is facing bereavement. Every year we train more than 10,000 professionals, helping them to better understand and meet the needs of grieving families.

Our vision is for all families to have the support they need to rebuild their lives, when a child grieves or when a child dies.

Our mission is to ensure the accessibility of high-quality child bereavement support and information to all families and professionals by increasing our reach and plugging the gaps that exist in bereavement support and training across the country and embedding standards in the sector.

We provide confidential support, information and guidance to families and professionals. Our helpline team is available to take calls and respond to emails 9am-4.30pm Monday-Friday 0800 02 888 40 [email protected]

We provide support at a number of locations across the country. Support includes:

Face-to-face support - For individuals, couples, children, young people, and families.
Groups for families - Facilitated groups for bereaved families providing an opportunity for children and their adult carers to meet others and explore their feelings through creative activities.
Groups for young people - Facilitated groups where 11-25-year-olds work together to advise us on developing resources to help others.
Groups for parents - Facilitated groups for bereaved parents to meet in a supportive environment.
