The Compassionate Friends

The Compassionate Friends is a national organisation of bereaved parents offering support, understanding and friendship to others after the loss of a child, of any age, from any cause. 

Our national Helpline is staffed by volunteers who are bereaved parents themselves and offers support and information 365 days a year. 

We also offer:

  • local support groups and local one-to-one support   
  • online support groups – both locally and for particular aspects of child loss
  • weekend retreats and gatherings
  • online talks and events for bereaved parents and their families
  • a comprehensive website and moderated online community forum
  • support in private, well-moderated Facebook groups
  • information leaflets, bereavement support publications and a unique postal library on all aspects of bereavement
  • specialist support for parents bereaved by suicide, by substance use or alcohol, road traffic incident and for parents who have lost their only child or children
  • some support for adult bereaved siblings.
