Grief Encounter: A Winter Landscape of Memories

December 2, 2024

 

A Winter Landscape of Memories

 

Christmas can be an extremely difficult time for bereaved children and young people facing the festivities without mum, dad or a sibling. Over 46,000 children and young people will be facing Christmas for the first time without their mum or dad this year. Hundreds of thousands more children and young people will be reminded again of the person missing from their family this Christmas.

 

That’s why this year, we are encouraging our supporters to donate in memory of a loved one, whilst showing their support for bereaved children. The Grief Encounter Festive Campaign will launch on the 25th November and run to 3rd January, and we aim to raise £15,000 to enable us to support more vulnerable children in 2025 and beyond.

 

Supporters can select a snowflake from our winter landscape, donate, and if they choose, leave a message for a loved one. As more snowflakes appear, we look forward to seeing the landscape fill with loving memories. You may also consider offering snowflakes for employees to hang on the Christmas tree in your office.

 

We are asking for your support now, at a time when these families need us most.
