Vision To give hope to families bereaved of a child by providing a range of services that support grieving families and encourage them to rebuild and remember. Mission Statement To provide family and child centred services to support those affected by the death of a child. To raise awareness of the facts about organ donation and encourage families to share their decision by ‘starting the conversation’. Purpose To ensure that every family in Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland who experience the death of a child has access to early therapeutic support services. We achieve our aims by: • Providing early therapeutic support to families who are newly bereaved of a child aged 0-18 years, in their own home or safe place. • Working with siblings in school or their own home to help them to understand their grief and support memory making. • Providing Bodie’s Treasured Memory Bags to families and professionals across the UK, to support sibling grief for children aged 3-18 years. • Providing a week-long stay at Bodie’s Boathouse for families bereaved of a child of any age, across the UK. • Running an organ donation education programme in schools across Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland.
