Support for those affected by sudden death in young people
When a family loses a child or a young adult, the effects are devastating for all who knew and loved them.
Our mission is to ensure that all those affected by the sudden and unexpected death of a child or young adult aged 25 or under receive the bereavement support they need and deserve.
Whether it’s immediate support within 48 hours of a loss, dedicated resources in hospitals, or ongoing care for as long as you need us – we’re here, every step of the way.
We offer awareness training, specialist support for professionals, and tailored services for children and young people – helping anyone affected by the sudden loss of a young person.
Together, we have made a big difference in the lives of families facing sudden loss
A regular gift is the perfect way to support 2wish. We rely on donations to ensure that we can continue to provide immediate and ongoing support to families navigating their darkest times.
“On the 22 February 2012 I tragically lost my baby son, George. He was only 1 year, 1 week and 1 day old. He died after suffering a seizure at home. It was discovered later that George was suffering from Bronchial Pneumonia and Type A Influenza. My husband Paul tragically died 5 days later, he was 33 years old. 2wish was created in their memory and to support other parents who have suddenly suffered bereavement.”
