Your Impact

Your donations help us make a massive difference for the families we support who have lost a loved one.

£60 could provide a bereaved child with an individual therapeutic session, helping them explore their emotions and begin to process their grief of losing a sibling or parent in a safe and supportive space.

£150 could fund a day of group bereavement support for two young people who have lost a sibling or parent, giving them the chance to connect with others who understand their loss, share memories, and find comfort through peer support.

£500 could offer 12 bereaved parents a complementary therapy session during a restorative break, easing emotional strain and supporting their wellbeing as they navigate life after loss of a child or partner.

£1,500 could provide a bereaved family of four with a therapeutic short break at Daisy Lodge, offering time to reflect,  and reconnect in a nurturing environment away from daily pressures.

Join us this December and together, we can help ensure no family has to face cancer alone.
