Story

Whether you are back in the office or working from home, join our challenge during the month of September and walk 300,000 steps per individual to raise critical funds for bereaved children, young people and their families across the UK.

Walk on your own, with team members or friends and see how far you can go! Every individual, team or company that signs up will receive a registration pack with top tips and guidance to keep everyone motivated and inspired during the whole month.

100% of the funds raised will go towards supporting bereaved children and young people who have experienced the death of someone close. 1 in 29 children suffer the death of a parent or sibling every year in the UK. Grief Encounter is a leading UK bereavement charity, offering free, professional support to bereaved children, young people and their families. Without intervention, statistics show that bereaved young people can go on to suffer emotional, behavioral, social and academic issues. Our priority is to continue offering the best, fully-qualified and long-term support to all those who need us. We cant do that without you.

Just £26 could fund a session on our free helpline, grieftalk.

For every £26 you raise, you could fund the cost of a grieftalk helpline session, providing essential emotional support for a grieving child or young person, following the death of a parent. There is no minimum fundraising target.
