The Compassionate Friends (Bereaved parents and families supporting each other)

The Compassionate Friends 

‘Every parent’s worst nightmare is to lose a child’. This phrase may be a cliché but each year, for thousands of parents, the nightmare becomes a reality. The Compassionate Friends is an organisation of bereaved parents offering support, understanding and friendship to others after the loss of a child, of any age, from any cause.  We offer a National Telephone Helpline, staffed by bereaved parents, and available for support and information 365 days a year, as well as a website and moderated online forum, local support contacts and groups, weekend gatherings and retreats, information leaflets, bereavement support publications and a postal library. Some specialist sibling support is also available. 

Helpline: 0345 123 2304  

Hours: daily from 10.00-16.00 and 19.00-22.00
