The Compassionate Friends

Peer support for bereaved parents, grandparents and adult bereaved siblings (18+)

Our national helpline is here for bereaved parents, grandparents and adult bereaved siblings (18+) on 0345 123 2304. We aim to open every day and as often as possible between 10am and 4pm and 7pm and 10pm and the line is always answered by a trained bereaved parent volunteer who is here to listen and empathise.

We also have local in person support groups, 1:1 local support contacts and occasional support days, weekend retreats and facilitated walks. We have a postal grief library, private, moderated Facebook Groups for loss in all and specific circumstances and online sharing sessions for loss in specific circumstances.

We encourage parents to contact us directly for support either by phoning our helpline or emailing helpline@tcf.org.uk.
