In the charity's own words
We provide a variety of support and information to families and professionals after a child's death. We research information required by bereaved families or professionals and signpost to suitable support. We work directly with professionals to improve care and ensure awareness of bereaved parents' needs. We run playgroups for bereaved families and by referral provide small financial grants.
