Story

Jump completed Thursday 7th September!

Winston's Wish supports bereaved children to help them when they are most vulnerable and believe in a society where every child can get the help they need.

To try and do something that's requires an element of bravery, although a fraction of what these children have to face, I thought it would be a good idea to jump out of a very safe and functioning plane and hurtle towards the Earth with 'only' a parachute to slow my large mass to a much safer speed for landing.

Those close to me know I'm terrified of heights, but I often forget as Beth is even more terrified and it makes me look like a daredevil in comparison (although daredevils do much more impressive acts than peering over a Cornish cliff edge with shaky legs...).

I look forward to screaming for the 30 seconds it takes to freefall 10,000ft, but your contribution will make it all worthwhile!

Donations as little as £5 (plus your gift aid!) can help fund any of the following:

£5 Could provide four specialist publications, which offer parents and professionals advice and guidance on how to help bereaved children cope with their grief.

£8.50 Could enable us to provide one child with a memory box that can be used to store treasured objects, helping them to remember their loved one in a way that is personal to them.

£20 Could cover the cost of operating our website for one day, including Help2MakeSense, a support forum for bereaved young people.

The charity also runs a National Helpline for free on 08088 020 021 which supports 10,000 children a year alongside face-to-face support which helps 1,500 children a year.
