Free Comfort Boxes for Bereaved Parents

Angel Children are giving away FREE comfort boxes to bereaved parents.

I personally know the heartbreak that comes when a parent loses a child,it is heartbreaking,devastating,the worst thing in the world and it feels like someone has ripped out your heart,stamped all over it and you will never ever be the same again.

Some of your friends and even family stop talking to you,cross the road rather than stop and speak to you,so you not only lose your child but you can lose family,friends, and really, you lose life the way you knew it.

The Angel Children team would like to change that,well maybe not change,but bring a little comfort or a smile or two in the face of the grief you are suffering. We will choose two bereaved parents each month from all nominations entered which can be male or female as the bereaved dads out there need a little comfort too.

We are now taking nominations from the public, so if you know of a bereaved parent get your nomination in.

Start date for nominations : August 16th 2012 

End Date for nominations : September 16th 2012

All you need to do is nominate a bereaved Mum or Dad that you think deserves a little comfort,tell us a little of why you think your nominee should be given a comfort box above other nominees.The rules are simple your nominee must be resident in the UK as at this moment in time Angel Children only support bereaved families in the UK.There is no age limit on this so your nominee could be grieving loss through miscarriage, still birth,toddler,young child/teenager or young adult. PLEASE NOTE: You can not nominate yourself.

We understand all bereaved parents deserve a little comfort and would love to give to them all,but we can't,but just to bring comfort to even some would all be worth it. As we already provide most parents with a mini headstone or memorial plaque to mark the child's resting place we thought it would be nice just to offer a lovely comfort box as a way of showing we care.

Angel Children boost funds with easyfundraising

As the recession continues to bite, many charities are finding it harder than ever to raise much needed funds.

But supporters of Angel Children can now boost their favourite cause simply by shopping online

Angel Children Grief Share Support Group has joined thousands of good causes raising money through easyfundraising - an online gateway to over 2000 well known retailers.

When supporters shop using the links on the easyfundraising site, Angel Children Grief Share Support Group receive a free donation of up to 15% of the purchase price.

With British shoppers set to spend a staggering £39 billion online this year alone, Marilyn Foden  from Angel Children Grief Share Support Group is keen for as many people as possible to sign up:

“Things are tough at the moment and we understand that, so we’re having to look at more creative ways to raise vital funds for Angel Children Grief Share Support Group.

“More people than ever are shopping online because they know they can pick up a bargain. With easyfundraising our supporters get to shop around for the best deals AND raise money for us at the same time.

Featuring high street names such as M&S, Argos and Tesco, easyfundraising has already helped UK charities raise over £3 million.

And as well as raising funds, the free to use website also gives shoppers access to hundreds of offers, discounts, vouchers and free delivery codes that they won’t find elsewhere.

We also support with the funding of a child's forever headstone. We need help to enable us to keep supporting these families.We are a non profit organisation which means we get no government funding, so totally rely on the public's generosity and support.

Here are two of the reasons we need your support.
