Grief affects every Bereaved Sibling, yet 90% of them report feeling isolated and unsure where to turn for support. We're raising funds to ensure our accessible grief support is available to every Bereaved Sibling across the UK, no matter how old they are and how they want to engage in support.

Almost 3,000 children become a Bereaved Sibling each year and the number of adults that become a Bereaved Sibling, is not currently recorded. However, 90% of Bereaved Siblings report feeling isolated in their grief, questioning whether their emotions are valid and left feeling alone. Bereaved Siblings risk experiencing long term mental health challenges with increasing levels of anxiety, guilt, depression and other emotions, if proactive grief support is not offered, when it's needed most.
Our 5 year vision is to ensure that every Bereaved Sibling across the UK, no matter their age, location, background and preferred method of engagement, has access to grief support. We're committed to ensuring that every sibling across the UK understands the impact that grief can have on their life and that they know where to turn for support when they need it most. We will achieve this by developing our broad range of in person and online services that are accessible for every sibling..
