Vision, mission and values
Winston’s Wish supports bereaved children, young people, their families and the professionals who support them.
What we do
Winston’s Wish is a charity that helps children, teenagers and young adults (up to the age of 25) find their feet when their worlds are turned upside down by grief. Through information, on-demand services, bereavement support and counselling, we support young people to understand their feelings, process their grief and find ways to move forward with hope for a brighter future. We also help the adults who are caring for young grieving people including parents, school staff and healthcare professionals.
Our vision
A society in which every child and young person gets the help they need after anyone close to them dies.
Our mission
To make sure no child or young person faces grief alone.
Our values
- We put children and young people at the heart of everything we do
- We are positive and have fun
- We never stop learning
- We embrace differences
- We strive for better
