16 brave golfers have taken on the challenge of completing 72 holes in one day, across 4 London golf courses. In aid of Grief Encounter, each drive, putt and swing will help us to continue supporting bereaved children and young people across the UK. With your help, we hope to raise £45,000 which could help us pay for 8 specialist grief counsellors to support 100 bereaved children and young people via our Family Programme this year alone, with one-one counselling, helpline support and group workshops.

On the 15th June, our passionate golfers will tee off from 4 outstanding courses, testing their skill and endurance. Their strict training regime is already underway and they are preparing for a 4.45am tee off time! By midday the team will have completed 36 holes, having smashed both South Herts and Hadley Wood Golf Club, and before sunset, Brookmans Park and The Shire will be ticked off their score cards - 72 holes, and a very well deserved nights sleep!

Demand for our free, professional bereavement services are higher than ever before. 100% of the funds raised will go towards supporting bereaved children and young people who have experienced the death of someone close. Over the last 12 months, our helpline, grieftalk, has experienced an 173% uplift in calls, offering a lifeline to children and young people suffering grief. Challenges like these, mean we can confidently plan ahead to ensure we are able to continue providing essential services to those who desperately need them.
