Winston's Wish
Supporting grieving children and families
Winston’s Wish was the UK’s first childhood bereavement charity. We have been supporting bereaved children since 1992 and we continue to lead the way in providing specialist child bereavement support services across the UK. This includes in-depth therapeutic support in individual, group and residential settings, as well as a Freephone National Helpline, training for professionals and specialist publications.
The death of a parent or sibling is one of the most traumatic situations for a child, but with our help they can face the future with hope.
