The MK charity supports children and young people with bereavement support services including regular support groups, activities, trips and individual tailored support.

The charity’s services ensure that bereaved children are supported in the grieving process, from provision of books and resources and individually tailored memory boxes to activities that promote wellbeing by building confidence and self-esteem. Facilitating contact with others who have also suffered a bereavement can also reduce the feeling of isolation and loneliness.

The help is also extended to the wider family to ensure that parents and carers are involved and also supported. This includes the larger extended family where there may be step siblings and parents.
