A Plymouth-based charity that provides free support to children, young people and their parents/carers who have or are about to experience the death of someone special.

Currently, we support approximately 350 grieving children each year and have supported an estimated 5,500 children, young people and their families, since our founding in 1996. The demand on the charity has grown steadily over the last five years and now, nearly half of the children and families that we support are bereaved through sudden and often traumatic causes of death, like suicide and road traffic accidents. Nearly a third of the children that we support, are bereaved through long term illnesses, such as cancer. Sadly, almost 50% of those in our care have lost or are facing the loss of a parent.
