Each year in the UK, 46,300 children lose a parent – that’s roughly one child in every classroom.

For children facing a parent’s incurable illness, school can be the one steady place in a world turned upside down. But many teachers and staff simply don’t have the training to know how to help.

The money we raise will help expand our Responding in the Moment Schools Programme – free online training that builds school staff’s knowledge and confidence to support students through anticipatory grief and bereavement.

Together, we can help schools create compassionate, whole-school environments where no child feels alone when a parent is seriously ill.
