Child Bereavement UK supports families and educates professionals when a baby or child of any age dies or is dying, or when a child is facing bereavement. Every year we train over 9000 professionals, helping them to better understand and meet the needs of grieving families. In the UK, when a baby or child dies, or a child is bereaved, many of those affected are unable to access good quality support which meets their individual needs. Child Bereavement UK believes all families should have the support they need to rebuild their lives when a child grieves or when a child dies. Our aim is to make sure they do. We provide confidential support, information and guidance to families and professionals. Our National Helpline is available to take calls and respond to emails 9am-5pm Monday -Friday along with an online Live Chat from 9 am to 5 pm.

When a child acquires a brain injury it can have a devastating affect on all the family. Every year thousands of families are left without any support and often feel alone with nowhere to turn to. We are here to support families and professionals working with children and young people who find themselves in need of information about what’s happened and how to cope. We are here to listen and to help with practical and emotional issues which may arise over time. We work in Hospitals, Schools and in the community and are able to offer face to face meetings, phone and email support.

Child Rescue Nepal frees children from slavery. Today, there are over 40 million slaves globally, a quarter of whom are children. In Nepal, we estimate that there are 100,000 child slaves working in hazardous situations. These children are extremely vulnerable and suffer frequent physical and emotional abuse. Sexual abuse is also common. We rescue children, keep them safe and reunite them with their families. Child Rescue Nepal has rescued just over 1000 children but our work is far from over. We want to end child slavery in Nepal and we won't stop until every child is free.

We enable lives to be transformed by supporting disadvantaged children and young people in Belarus, Moldova, Siberia and Ukraine. In collaboration with local partners we improve the quality of life for children living in vulnerable families, orphans, children with disabilities, and internally displaced refugees through short and long term aid and development initiatives.
