Bring colour back into the lives of bereaved children this Christmas.

Your donation will have TWICE the impact!

Thanks to an incredible supporter, your donation can be matched, up to the first £20,000 received!

That means whatever you give can be doubled, which will help fund our Christmas parties plus, the thousands of children and young people we will support over the festive period.

When you’re bereaved, life can feel like it’s lost its vibrancy. Winston’s Wish can help grieving children and young people find glimmers of hope. With the right support from our team of bereavement support workers, colours come back into view and life can start to feel bright again.  

This December, Winston’s Wish will host a series of parties exclusively for bereaved children across the UK to connect with one another and most importantly, have fun. We’ll also support thousands more children and young people through our innovative digital bereavement support services, providing instant access and support from a bereavement support worker with no wait times.This is only possible with your support.   

Your donation today can help make these special parties possible and ensure our vital support services can continue to run throughout the festive period and into the new year and beyond. 

Thank you for standing with bereaved children and helping to ‘Colour their Christmas.’

When Christmas came that first year without him, our walls started to crumble, the bubble burst and none of us wanted to even mention the word “Christmas.” It was too painful, like the world had turned to black and white.

Thanks to support from people like you, we were introduced to Winston’s Wish, and this is when the colour started to slowly return to our lives.
