Description
Grief Encounter’s mission is to give every child and young person access to the best possible support following the death of someone close.
They work closely with individuals, families, schools and professionals to offer a way through the anxiety, fear and isolation so often caused by grief.
They are an open-access charity, funded by the generosity of our supporters, and here to help alleviate the pain and confusion caused by the death of a parent or sibling. Bereavement is devastating at any age, but for a child it is life-changing.
