Grief Encounter Information

Grief Encounter is the UK’s leading child bereavement charities providing free and professional support services to bereaved children, young people and their families following the death of someone close. An astonishing 1 in 29 children in the UK under 16 years old will suffer the death of a parent. Bereavement is devastating at any age, but for a child it is beyond tragic and truly unimaginable. The emotions experienced by a child are deeply confusing and the affects can be life altering and long lasting. With no government funding, we rely on donations to enable us to shorten our waiting list and help these children at a time when they are desperate for somewhere to turn.
