Delighted to speak at the launch of Ask Me with @winstonswish.bsky.social and Alfie Watts, a new plan to support bereaved young people, including some brilliant speeches from those affected by grief and bereavement.

It’s time for a new approach to supporting bereaved students. No more one-size-fits-all bereavement policy. Ask them one simple question: What do you need and how can we support you? Sign & implement the Ask Me: Education Manifesto and Bereavement Plan > winstonswish.org/askme/

We've been exploring the resources that Winston's Wish have available for people affected by grief and bereavement. They have a wonderful toolkit for teens and young people which you can access here: www.talkgrief.org/grief-toolkit @winstonswish.bsky.social

We’re proud to announce a new partnership with @winstonswish.bsky.social which will ensure nobody is left to grieve or face death alone. Together, we’re creating a seamless support journey for anyone experiencing grief.
