Situation
Every 22 minutes a child in Britain is bereaved of a parent. This equates to over 24,000 newly bereaved children each & every year. . The death of a parent or sibling is one of the most fundamental losses a child will ever face. Studies show that if childhood grief is not dealt with appropriately it can have a deep and lasting effect on a child’s emotional well-being and cause problems later in life. Winston's Wish provides the support for children to make sense of death and rebuild their lives
