We support grieving children & young people to help them achieve their full potential.

Story

Winston's Wish is a great charity; every 22 minutes a child in Britain is bereaved of a parent; that’s 24,000 newly bereaved children each and every year.  At Winston’s Wish they offer the right support at the right time creating a  life-changing impact on bereaved children and young peoples lives. 

Winston's Wish rely almost entirely on voluntary contributions and to raise over £1.9 million in order to maintain their service every year is a big task – so every penny really does count!

In order to help them, I'm willing to throw myself from a 80ft castle and whizz down (at speeds of up to 40mph) a 900ft long zip wire. Any sponsorship would be greatly appreciated by myself and Winston's Wish.

Every penny really does count and just £100 could pay for:

*Ten specialist publications sent out to helpline callers.

*One of our specialist team answering six calls to our helpline – maybe the first time that these callers have spoken to anyone about their concerns for a bereaved child.

*One individual session for a young person or family member with one of our practitioners.

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
