Child Bereavement UK – Supporting Families in Birmingham

About Child Bereavement UK

At Child Bereavement UK, we are dedicated to helping children, young people (up to age 25), parents, and families navigate one of life’s most difficult experiences: grief. Whether a child has died, or a young person is grieving the loss of someone important, we are here to support families in rebuilding their lives.

Since our founding in 1994, we have grown to become a trusted national charity, originally known as the Child Bereavement Trust. Over the past 30 years, we have worked with thousands of families, ensuring that no one has to face bereavement alone. Through education, support, and compassionate guidance, we help individuals and communities find strength, hope, and connection.

Based in Birmingham, our local services offer both in-person and remote support, making our help accessible to families across the region. We are committed to making our services inclusive, accessible, and sensitive to every individual’s background, culture, and circumstance.
