Glasgow open day

This year marks 30 years of Child Bereavement UK helping families to rebuild their lives, when a child grieves or when a child dies. To mark this occasion, we are opening our doors and inviting you to join us for a slice of cake and a cup of tea.

This is an opportunity to come along and meet us, whether you know us well or are new to us and would like to learn more about the charity. You will be able to find out about the support we offer and our work with families and professionals across Scotland.

We look forward to meeting you, there is no need to pre-book.
