Child Bereavement UK has been granted £20,000 to support families experiencing child bereavement as part of Benefact Group’s Movement for Good Awards.
The latest phase of the Movement for Good Awards has awarded over £480,000 to charities working across climate change and environment, education and skills, heritage and arts and rural and community sectors.
The Buckinghamshire based charity helps families to rebuild their lives when a child grieves or when a child dies.
The £20,000 funding will support a three day per week Helpline Bereavement Support Practitioner for a year who will handle contacts via email, phone, social media, mail and live chat. The helpline also informs how the charity delivers other services and what website resources they have and need.
