Help Us Be There When Families Need It Most

The death of a child, sibling, or grandchild changes everything. At The Compassionate Friends, we walk alongside grieving families, offering understanding, hope, and connection because no one should have to face this journey alone.

Your donation helps us continue to provide a safe space for grieving hearts to find comfort, and begin to heal in their own time, in their own way.

Your Gift Helps Us:

  • Offer free, welcoming support groups

  • Train volunteers who have lived this loss to offer care and connection

  • Provide online support, events, and grief resources

  • Create spaces to honour and remember loved ones together

  • Free one on one counselling
