The Bodie Hodges Foundation is a local Leicestershire based charity that supports families who have been bereaved of a child.

The charity was established in 2013 by Nick and Donna Hodges after the death of their ten-month-old son Bodie. They wanted to offer support to other bereaved families as their experience highlighted how isolating losing a child was. The charity has now become well-regarded regionally for its sensitive, effective professional 1-1 bereavement services and peer support groups to adults, children, and young people in their darkest hour of grief.

Our vision is to give hope to families bereaved of a child by providing a range of specialist services that encourage them to rebuild and remember. All our services are free of charge to ensure that no bereaved families are left to grieve alone.
