Winston’s Wish is a charity that offers free, accessible online grief support to children and young people (aged 25 or under) across the UK who are bereaved or facing the death of someone important.
Get instant access to expert bereavement support via phone, live chat, email or text/WhatsApp from 8am-8pm, Monday to Friday. No appointment needed. No wait lists. We provide free, online tools, content, guides and publications and additional tailored support for those who need it. We also offer guidance and resources for the adults supporting bereaved children and young people, whether a parent, family member, teacher, friend, or professional.
No child should have to face grief alone. Help us be there for them.
