Every day more than 100 children are bereaved of a parent in the UK.
Winston's Wish supports over 60,000 grieving children and their families every year, enabling them to find positive ways of coping, and developing the tools needed to rebuild their futures.
Your donations mean that Winston’s Wish can be there for grieving young people who need someone to talk to, as well as parents, carers and professionals seeking guidance, through our on-demand services.
Our Freephone Helpline, Live Chat and email are vital services for children to reach the support they need.
