The Rosie Crane Trust was launched in October 2006 two years after the death of my daughter, as a result of developing leukemia. Other bereaved parents contacted me and the support and friendship we were able to give each other was invaluable. The idea of the Trust came from our experiences and the desire to find something good out of such a traumatic event. Trained, volunteer bereaved parents answer the dedicated telephone line.

The Rosie Crane Trust is committed to assisting in relieving distress, whether mental, physical, spiritual or emotional, caused by the bereavement of a child.

This service is available to all parents who have lost a child of any age and at any stage in the bereavement, with the offer of support through the many forms and stages that grief brings.

Our volunteers can give reassurance, support, friendship and most important, a listening ear. It can be extremely comforting to talk with someone who has personal knowledge or experience of such a loss.

In addition we provide a drop-in centre, where parents can meet informally, have a cup of tea and share their own expereinces. Subsidised counselling is also avilable through the Trust.
