👋 Hello Sheffield Childrens Foundation Trust 👋
Bereaved children across the UK tell us they feel forgotten
You can help us to help them…
We know that during a bereavement, financial pressure can be difficult enough. That’s why we are committed to offering our support for free, for as long as possible. However, without the help of fundraisers, this isn’t sustainable.
We rely on your support to help bereaved children.
Sibling Support helps young people when their brother or sister dies. You can read more about our work below. We pride ourselves in offering our support for free. But it costs Sibling Support…
£7 For every resource sent out to help thousands of families and professionals.
£140 For every talk we carry out. We reached 500 people last year.
£200 to arrange a wellbeing day for a family under our ‘new memories’ programme.

We want to support you with any fundraising you’re able to do for us. Please do email us if you need collection tins, running vests of fundraising inspiration!
Every year around 4,000 young people die in the UK before they’ve had a chance to live their lives to the fullest.
Beside many of those is a sibling.
The death of a sibling at any age is detrimental. It’s even worse if effective support is not there from the start. Fractured families, loneliness, survivor syndrome, decades of depression, increased chances of mental health problems and even suicide.
At Sibling Support, we understand these challenges all too well.
As the only charity in the UK dedicated specifically to supporting bereaved siblings, we are committed to helping young people cope with their grief and find ways to express their emotions. We know it best as many of us involved have also experienced sibling bereavement.
“The resources that Sibling Support provide are a significant part of bereavement support that we offer to families. ”
“It is so special to me. Sibling Support helped me so much. Being in a room with people who’ve lost a sibling. Before that I felt alone.”
“Young people say something they’ve been feeling is validated.”

There are other ways of making
a donation as well:
-
Payroll Giving is a way of giving money to us without paying tax on it. It is very easy and makes donations cheaper for you.
Once set up you don’t have to do anything else. Your employer likely already has a scheme in place and some companies match your donation, doubling the amount coming to us.
A donation of £20 to Sibling Support costs you:
£16 for basic rate taxpayers (20%)
£12 for higher rate taxpayers (40%)
£11 for the highest rate taxpayers (45%)
Speak to your payroll team and tell them you’d like to start making donations to Sibling Support (Charity Number: 1189271). You can choose how much to donate and are free to cancel when you wish.
If you’re having problems or have any questions, ask our team: hello@siblingsupport.co.uk and we will help.
