Purpose A national charitable organisation of bereaved parents, siblings and grandparents dedicated to the support and care of other bereaved parents, siblings, and grandparents who have suffered the death of a child/children.
Our Helpline is always answered by a bereaved parent who is there to listen when you need someone to talk to. She/he can also put you in touch with your nearest Local and/or Group Contact in the United Kingdom, provide you with information about our services and supply leaflets, and sample newsletters. The Helpline (0845 123 2304) also offers support and information to those supporting bereaved families. It is open every day of the year.
TCF in the United Kingdom offers local Contacts (befrienders) who listen and share with the bereaved. We can put you in touch with a local Contact who will give you information about the support available to you locally, such as group meetings. They are also there if you would just like to talk.
TCF hold several residential events throughout the year to give bereaved parents an opportunity to share their experiences with other bereaved parents and to benefit from a range of programmes, including workshops, discussion groups, keynote speakers and social activities.
Services A support group for any parent who has lost a son/daughter, at whatever age, however long ago. A chance to come along and talk informally, to share with others who have been through this loss.
