New Books to add to our growing collection

We are pleased to announce the publication of our new book "Where's Molly Now?" which we were commissioned to write for churches and pastoral wokers caring for bereaved families. This A5 booklet is a useful resource and has been well received so far. It will be distributed nationally and training offered alongside for anyone interested. It will shortly be available on our shop page.

Hard on the heels of that one comes our fourth book called "Remember Me Always", which we were also commissioned to write, for funeral directors to give bereaved families when they make contact. Research we carried out with bereaved parents showed that they found they had most help from funeral directors who were full of useful information and advice.

This book is designed to help parents and carers right at the beginning when they often need help most and have least to give. This will also be availalbe through the shop.

Summer Success!

See our latest July/August Newsletter for more details. There's something for everyone to get involved in from coffee mornings, gentle sponsored walks to skydiving! Take a look now!

Other News

We have recently completed two more books,one called "Where's Molly Now"? for clergy and pastoral teams and the other for funeral directors to give families when they make contact called "Remeber Me Always" The clergy book will be ready by Easter and will be luanched alongside training. The funeral directors book was launched in May at the National Association of Funeral Directors conference in Newquay. The books will go national which means that the potential for influencing the support of bereaved children and their families is quite significant. As well as providing a useful resource they will earn income for us as a charity.
