Every young person deserves support when someone they love dies. You make that possible.

Why donate to Apart of Me?
Every year, 46,000 children in the UK lose a parent and many more experience the death of a sibling, friend, or grandparent. For too many, grief goes unspoken, unsupported, and unseen.
Unresolved grief doesn’t just disappear. It can show up in deep and painful ways later in life:
-
Around 1 in 4 young people under 20 who die by suicide have experienced childhood bereavement.
-
41% of youth offenders have lost someone close to them.
-
An estimated 15% of mental health struggles are linked to unresolved or complicated grief.
Behind every number is a young person who needed care, understanding, and a place to feel safe with their pain and didn’t get it.
Your donation helps change that.
By supporting Apart of Me, you’re helping us reach more grieving young people with free, expert-designed support, before the weight of grief becomes something even harder to carry.
Together, we can help turn pain into connection, and loss into something that’s held with compassion.
