Patron & Ambassadors

Our Patron and Ambassadors all have one thing in common.  They are passionate about making a difference for local children and their families who are bereaved or affected by terminal illness by supporting the Children's Bereavement Centre.

Our Charity Ambassadors come from all walks of life and are a vital part of our team.  They help to be a voice for local children and young people by talking in our community about how grief affects children, what you can do and what we can do, if additional support is needed.  

To find out more or get involved please email Paula or call 01636 551739.
