Our Vision

We are an ambitious and growing charity; this is our vision and we are passionate about growing the services we offer to families bereaved of a child.

Our vision is to give hope to families bereaved of a child by providing a range of services that support grieving families and encourage them to rebuild and remember.

We do this through Bodie’s Bereavement Service and our projects.
