New Chapter. Same Commitment. A Future Where No One Grieves Alone. 

Child Bereavement UK and Winston’s Wish have come together with one shared purpose: to ensure no bereaved child, young person, or parent bereaved of a child faces grief alone. 

We are now one unified charity: Child Bereavement UK. 

We support bereaved children and young people (up to age 25), and parents grieving the death of a baby or child, to find hope. Through free expert guidance, practical resources, and compassionate support, we help people rebuild their lives.  

One Organisation. One Purpose. 

Every day, lives across the UK are changed forever by bereavement. 
But with the right support, at the right time, it is possible to move forward with hope. 

We’ve brought together decades of expertise, experience and compassion, strengthening our ability to reach and support more bereaved children, young people and grieving parents than ever before. 

Together we will: 

  • Provide tailored, expert support at every stage of grief  

  • Ensure help is accessible, without barriers or delay  

  • Amplify the voices of bereaved people and advocate for better care and experiences 

  • Equip professionals with the skills and confidence to support others  

By combining our strengths, we are building a more connected, accessible and impactful community for everyone who needs us. 

New service model 

As a newly merged organisation, we have introduced a service model grounded in clinical evidence and best practice, enabling us to respond more effectively to the complex and varied needs of those we support. 

Our online and place-based services offer different levels of support, tailored to each individual. From free information and resources, to immediate access to bereavement specialists with no waiting list, through to structured, ongoing support for those who need more in-depth help—we ensure everyone can access clinically grounded, evidence-based care at the right level.  

While some of our services may look and feel different, these changes are designed to make support more accessible, more consistent, and available when they’re needed.  

What has not changed is the heart of who we are. The compassion, warmth and commitment that have always defined both organisations remain at the centre of everything we do. We continue to stand alongside every bereaved child, young person and parent bereaved of a child with the same care, understanding and dedication.

Your support matters - now more than ever 

By coming together, we have the opportunity to reach more families than ever before. But right now, too many grieving children, young people and parents bereaved of a child are still facing their grief alone, without the support they need, when they need it most. 

We are determined to change that. 
But we can’t do it without you. 

In our first year as a newly merged organisation, we aim to support more than 130,000 bereaved children, young people and parents across the UK. To achieve this, we need to raise £6.7 million. 

Your support can make this possible. 

You can ensure we can be there to offer expert care, compassion and understanding when it matters most. You can help someone feel less alone, find a way forward and begin to rebuild their life at their own pace. 

Together, we can reach every bereaved child, every young person, and every parent grieving the death of a baby or child who needs us.
