✨ What an incredible evening at That Charity Ball 2026! ✨

We want to extend a heartfelt thank you to Claire and Jodie, two of our dedicated business ambassadors, for their continued commitment to supporting 2wish. Countless hours of hard work brought this amazing event to life, and we are so grateful for everything they have done. 💙

Thanks to their efforts and the generosity of everyone who attended and supported - the event raised an outstanding £21,082. This remarkable total will make a real and lasting difference, helping 2wish continue to provide support to parents, siblings and professionals who have been affected by the sudden death of anyone aged 25 and under.

Claire and Jodie, your hard work has created something truly special. The impact of this event will be felt by so many families who rely on 2wish, and we are incredibly thankful for the difference you have made. 🌟

Today, we mark a significant and deeply moving milestone.

2wish has now supported over 10,000 people affected by the sudden and unexpected death of a child or young person.

While this number reflects the heartbreaking reality of the need for our services, it also represents something incredibly powerful – thousands of families who have not had to face their grief alone.

Since 2012, we have been there to provide immediate and ongoing support, working closely with NHS, police and emergency services to ensure families receive the care they need at the most devastating times. This would not be possible without our incredible supporters, partners, volunteers and fundraisers.

We also want to thank all staff, volunteers and supporters past and present for making this milestone possible. Thank you for standing with us and helping us be there when it matters most.

As we come to the end of our Vilomay campaign, we want to thank everyone who has supported, shared, and helped raise awareness.

Vilomah
(vee-lo-mah)
Origin: Sanskrit
Meaning: Against the natural order of things
Often used to describe a parent who has lost a child

Throughout this campaign, we’ve opened conversations around grief, understanding, and how we can better support families during the most devastating times of their lives.

Support doesn’t need to be perfect. It just needs to be kind, thoughtful, and present.

If you’re unsure how to help a parent after the death of a child, we’ve shared some guidance here:

https://2wish.org.uk/supporting-a-parent-following-the-death-of-a-child/

Together, we can make sure no family feels alone.

A practical guide for friends, family, and anyone who wants to help but doesn’t know how. When a child dies, many parents tell us the same thing… People Disappear Friends avoid eye contact in the supermarket. Invitations stop. Text messages trail off. Not because people don’t care, but because...

In this video, Jonathan Crimmins speaks openly about the loss of his son, Kieran, and the journey he and his family has faced since.

Our Vilomay campaign shines a light on the experiences of bereaved parents and the devastating impact of losing a child.
Through these stories, we hope to encourage understanding and remind those affected that they are not alone.
