Children's Grief Awareness Week

1 in 29 school-aged children in the UK have been bereaved of a family member. Over the next 29 days we will be posting to highlight Children's Grief Awareness Week, taking place on 15th-21st November.

On the week itself our mascot, Wilfie Bear, will be around to say hello in our Street Café, there will be hospice-led activities and more to engage with coming up!

Remember to share and let others know - you never know who is carrying around secret pain and may need your (and our) support.
