Every day in the UK, more than 100 children lose their mum or dad. The death of a parent or sibling can be the most traumatic experience a child will ever have to face. It’s a life-altering event which can, for the most vulnerable, lead to devastating lifelong consequences, including physical and mental illness, social exclusion and shortened life expectancy.
But it doesn’t have to. With the right support, given at the right time, and in the right way, bereaved children can go on to live happy and healthy lives.
Winston’s Wish relies on voluntary charity donations to support children and their families following the death of a parent or sibling. Since 1992, we have helped tens of thousands of bereaved children and young people and, with your help, we can help tens of thousands more during the most difficult time of their lives.
