Child Bereavement UK helps families to rebuild their lives when a child grieves or when a child dies. We support children and young people (up to the age of 25) when someone important to them has died or is not expected to live, and parents and the wider family when a baby or child of any age dies or is dying.
We offer free, confidential bereavement support for individuals, couples, children, young people, and families, by telephone, video or instant messenger, wherever you live in the UK. We also offer face-to-face support from a number of locations.
We welcome families and individuals of any gender or gender reassignment, marital or civil partnership status, disability, race, religion, faith, belief, or sexual orientation.
We will endeavour to source interpreters / BSL interpreters where needed / possible.
Our Helpline provides confidential support, information and guidance to families and professionals. Our Helpline team is available to take calls and respond to emails and Live Chat 9am-5pm Monday-Friday (except Bank Holidays):
Phone: Helpline - 0800 02 888 40
Email: helpline@childbereavementuk.org
For more information on the charity please email: enquiries@childbereavementuk.org
Referrals for bereavement support with one of our practitioners are made by calling our Helpline on 0800 02 888 40, which is open Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm. There is currently a waiting time on average of 12-14 weeks between making the referral and the family being contacted. We accept self-referrals and 3rd Party referrals with the families consent. We encourage the family or individual to make the referral themselves so that we can obtain all of the details we need and we can then also offer immediate support and reassurance.
