Every day, more than 100 children are bereaved of a parent in the UK. Winston’s Wish is the leading childhood bereavement charity in the UK. The death of a parent or sibling is one of the most fundamental losses a child will ever face. At Winston’s Wish, they believe that bereaved children need support to make sense of death and rebuild their lives – and that is why they exist.
