Help us raise £10,000 to fund our early therapeutic support for families bereaved of a baby or child aged 24 weeks gestation to 18 years living in Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland. This will provide 1-1 bereavement counselling sessions for parents, children and young people and staff training.

With lived experience from our founders and the families we support, we understand the profound and lasting impact child death can have on a family. It is one of the most devastating experiences a parent can face and families may experience deep emotional trauma, which can lead to long-term mental health challenges, including anxiety, depression, and self-isolation.
Grief is deeply personal and unique to each individual, and there is no one-size-fits-all approach. We provide compassionate, holistic family centred support for parents, children and young people during the first 2 years after the child has died. Most of our 1-1 bereavement counselling sessions take place in the comforting environment of Bodie’s House, which is a safe and compassionate space where families can feel held and understood, find connection and rediscover hope for their future.
