It is essential that schools are equipped with the resources and appropriate training to support children suffering from a bereavement.
2wish is actively working with schools to offer support and training to help improve bereavement support. For more information, see below:
Jake Wightman has become the World 1500m champion. Geoff calling his son becoming a World Champion is priceless. Helene, part of our team, filmed Dad. I sat with Mum Susan..then could not wait to give my mate a hug. Beyond proud. โค๏ธ@JakeSWightman@WightmanGeoff@SusanWightman6
Despite a series of training setbacks and waking with a nightmare of a migraine, I still enjoyed every second of the @CardiffHalf. With everything going on in the world, I will never take being able to run for granted. Now it's horizontal time #CardiffHalf

World Book Day/Diwrnod y Llyfr ๐
Reading can help children process and understand their grief and can also remind them that they are not alone.
These are just a few fantastic books that can help children with their grief.

1) Morning all,
@DrJDMcMullen and I have written a blog - talking to children about war in #Ukraine
We hope this helps any one who works with young people who might be worried right now.

I've been running for 4 years, but I've always avoided 5ks/parkruns because they're too far to run flat out, but too short to get into a comfortable rhythm. This year, I promised myself to make an effort to do parkruns, and after run no.5, I think I'm cracking the mental block.
Can't believe I'm saying this, but I actually enjoyed parkrun this morning. Lovely weather and great catchup over coffee afterwards. The free Nutella pancake samples in Tesco also went down an absolute treat.
Very powerful evening tonight at Bronglais Hospital, Aberystwyth, marking 10 years since baby George passed away and remembering each and every child that has been referred to @2wishcharity
