The Association of Greater Manchester’s Bereavement Services Group will be walking 51 miles visiting a cemetery or crematorium site within each of the 10 Greater Manchester Authorities. This will take place between Thursday 7th and Friday 8th December 2023.

This has been organised to coincide with National Grief Awareness Week. Please support us if you can and help raise funds for a wonderful charity-Once Upon a Smile.

Once Upon a Smile is a children's bereavement charity who provide practical and emotional support.

Here is an example of the difference Once Upon a Smile made to one family, written by a bereaved parent.

“Our lives had just been turned upside down. It was painful enough telling our young son that his dad had died, let alone telling him the funeral was not going ahead. I cannot thank Once Upon a Smile enough for supporting us with the funeral costs and the ongoing support of gift cards for groceries. I do not know what I would have done without Once Upon a Smile”
