We know how exciting it can be to get your fundraising ideas into action. So, how can you make the most of your online fundraising page and get your friends and family engaged to support you, and Guy’s Gift?

Guy’s Gift Fundraiser, Brian Taylor, shares his top tips for helping make your fundraising a HUGE success when using Just Giving.

At the end of 2023, Guy’s Gift will have been providing bereavement support and counselling across Coventry and Warwickshire for 15 years.  During this time, we have supported over 3000 children and young people who have experienced the death of someone important to them.

As we head towards this milestone, we would like to invite you to come up with fundraising ideas around the theme ‘15’.

For many people, Christmas is a wonderful time of year and something they look forward to.  However, if you have experienced the death of a loved one you may be feeling apprehension and uncertainty about the upcoming holidays. There’s no right or wrong way to be feeling at this time of year, whether it’s jumping straight into the festive period or giving yourself permission to not feel okay and to step back from traditions you might have previously loved being part of.

Children’s Grief Awareness Week 2022 is running from 17th-23rd November. The theme this year is ‘What helps?’ and along with many other children’s bereavement support organisations and charities across the UK we have been asking children and young people to take part in a ‘Sharing Shapes’ activity.

The death of someone in the public eye can impact us all. This might be the first time a child is experiencing a death, or it might bring up feelings and emotions of previous bereavement. This will be different for everyone, but can feel quite confusing
