Support & Advice
We know that families sometimes need support outside of FAB camps, which is why we have provided links to some additional organisations that can offer that. These are just a few of the many charities and organisations that may be able to provide you and your family support. FAB is not formally linked with any of these.
Childhood Bereavement Charities
Child Bereavement UK
In the UK, when a baby or child dies, or a child is bereaved, many of those affected are unable to access good quality support which meets their individual needs. The Child Bereavement UK believes all families should have the support they need to rebuild their lives when a child grieves or when a child dies.

Support Groups
SSAFA Bereaved Siblings Support Group
The Bereaved Siblings support group was set up by a group of bereaved families who had lost loved ones serving in the Armed Forces. It reconises that the death of a family member changes everything. We all cope with loss in our own way, but sometimes it helps to share your feelings with someone who has been through a similar experience. The group is opened to siblings who have lost loved ones in Combat and non-combat situations. SSAFA-FH recognizes that it is the loss of a loved one that binds people together.
SSAFA Bereaved Families Support Group
The group is opened to families who have lost loved ones in Combat and non- combat situations. The group is open to parents, partners, siblings, grandparents and anyone else who is considered part of the family unit and feels they will benefit.

Online forums and resources for Young People
Various from Winston’s Wish
Write your feelings/thoughts on a virtual graffiti wall/post your memories on a virtual planet in the sky/message other bereaved young people on their forums – just a few of the things you can do on this website.
RD4U – Cruse Bereavement Care
RD4U means the ‘road for you’. Everyone reacts differently to a death and there is no-one there to tell you how you should be acting or feeling. If someone you know has died you could use the site to find out how others in your situation have coped – read their experiences in the personal section, share your thoughts and feelings on the message board, offer advice to others and look at ideas for coping. The main aim of the site is to let you find your own ‘road’ to dealing with your loss. There is also a fun zone if you want to take a break from all of this.
