Story

The Bodie Hodges Foundation was formed in 2012 and its 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.

Through Bodies Bereavement Service, they provide early emotional therapeutic support to families, working with those who have experienced the sudden and unexpected death of a child up to the age of 18 within Leicester, Leicestershire, and Rutland. They work with the whole family, including siblings for up to eighteen months, providing support during the darkest time of a familys grief.

At Bodies Boathouse, the Foundation provides a one-week stay to families from across the East Midlands within the first three years following their childs death. The Boathouse is a 3-bedroomed luxury lodge based at Tallington Lakes, Lincolnshire, designed to help families relax and spend time together.

Bodies Treasured Memory Bags are sent out to bereaved siblings across the whole of the UK. They have been expertly designed with professionals to create conversations about death and grief, helping the whole family to talk.

The Bodie Hodges Foundation are proud to provide all their services completely free of charge.
