A CHILD OF MINE
We provide a variety of support and information to families and professionals after a child's death. We research information required by bereaved families or professionals and signpost to suitable support. We work directly with professionals to improve care and ensure awareness of bereaved parents' needs. We run playgroups for bereaved families and by referral provide small financial grants.
Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The trustees report that income has been maintained despite a challenging economic climate, and they aim to hold free reserves of approximately £40,000, which they consider to be around six months of core expenditure. The independent examiner confirmed that no matters came to their attention that would cast doubt on the financial statements or the charity's compliance with regulations.
