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, they support young people across the UK to understand their feelings, process their grief and find ways to move forward. They also help the adults who are caring for young grieving people.
