When a child dies, grief affects the whole family.

Every person experiences grief differently.

That's why at The Bodie Hodges Foundation, our 1-1 early therapeutic counselling is centred around the whole family.

We offer support for parents, siblings, couples and blended families, providing a safe space to talk, remember, process grief and find support together.

💜 There is no "right" way to grieve, and no family should have face their grief alone. 💜

If you know a family who may benefit from support, or would like to learn more about the services we offer, please visit our website.

⛳️ Not your average golf day...

2 weeks ago we welcomed 92 players to the iconic Brabazon Course at The Belfry Hotel & Resort

Both local and national businesses joined us for our Annual Bodie Hodges Golf Day which has raised over £15,500!!!

From our LIV Golf-inspired Hole 10 experience to on-course challenges on every hole, great conversations at the 'Pop Up Pub' and plenty of laughs along the way, this was far more than just a day on the fairway.

Events like this don't happen without incredible support, and we'd like to say a huge thank you to our sponsors:

🏌️ Headline Sponsor: WJ UK

🏌️ Event Sponsors: Cornerstone

🏌️ Hole Sponsors:

Rise Fitness Ibstock - Hawkridge Distillers - Compass Civil Engineering - The Commercial Flooring Company - Design MEP - BD Living Barratt Homes and KeyShel

A special thank you also goes to our fantastic volunteers Jon our photographer, Alex, as well as Ben and Mark from NatWest staff from Market Harborough Building Society and Morro Partnerships who helped make the day such a success!

Together, you have all helped us to ensure local families bereaved of a child can continue to access the range of bereavement servicies we provide.

THANK YOU!

Would you like to help improve support for bereaved siblings?

If you are you aged 13 or over and your sibling died suddenly then the University of Southampton is looking for young people to take part in the QUINTET Study, which is exploring the experiences and support needs of families following the sudden death of a child or young person.

You may be able to take part by:

💜 Completing a survey, which includes questions about your experiences and support needs.

and/or

💜 Taking part in an interview, where you can talk in more detail about your experiences if you feel comfortable doing so.

By sharing your experiences, you can help researchers better understand the impact of sibling bereavement and improve support for bereaved children and young people in the future.

All the information can be found on their website: https://www.southampton.ac.uk/research/institutes-centres/centre-for-sudden-death/our-research
