Once Upon a Smile provide emotional and practical support to bereaved families at their time of need to enable them to adjust to a new life without their loved one. We support children and families when a parent or sibling has died and pride ourselves in tailoring support to the needs of each individual family.

In March 2019 we moved into, Sidley House. Sidley House is a dedicated bereavement hub in Trafford that offers a variety of activities for children to express in a fun and safe environment.

We are very excited to announce that we have a brand new event for 2020

Once Upon a Sunrise!

A night time trek by the light of your head torch (and hopefully a starry sky) to the summit of Snowdon in time to see the sunrise across Snowdonia.

Our fundraisers will leave Llanberis in the early hours of Saturday 10th July accompanied by a team of professional mountain leaders, they will head along the Llanberis Path to the summit of Snowdon (or Yr Wyddfa to use its Welsh name) reaching the summit in time to see the sunrise from one of the most beautiful destinations on earth.

They will return along the same path in the first light of dawn, reaching Llanberis just in time for breakfast. We will be in very safe hands and trekking with Breese Adventures who organise many adventure challenges and support you from the moment you register to take part!
