Christmas can be a very difficult time for bereaved children, young people and their families and this event is an opportunity for grieving families to come together to remember those who have died.

Hot drinks and nibbles will be available for a small donation too.

Between 6.00 pm - 7.00 pm we will hold our service, which will be kindly hosted by Civil Celebrant and our very own patron, Carol Bundock. There will be singing by Norwich Community Choir, music from the City of Norwich Brass Band and readings by the Nelson’s Journey Service Team and Young Volunteers.

Tickets are £4 for adults with children free. Tickets need to be booked in advance. Please click the link below to book your tickets. There is the opportunity to make a donation when you book tickets but this is not obligatory.

There's still time to sign up for our 2024 Rudolph Run!

You don't have to be a school to take part, if you're looking to organise a fun, festive activity for a childrens group this winter, be it a toddler club, scouting or guiding group, sports club or anything else really, why not raise money for a good cause while you're at it and hold a Nelson's Journey Rudolph Run?

https://nelsonsjourney.org.uk/rudolphrun/

How, where and when you do it is up to you, but we've put together a resource pack anyone can download to use as they wish. Just fill in the form on our Rudolph Run homepage to let us know you're taking part.

Hundreds of schools have already been invited to take part, with many already having confirmed dates for their runs, and we'd be delighted to have you on board too!

It's Childrens Grief Awareness Week, and we're proud to have worked with other members of the Childhood Bereavement Network to deliver this year's theme: Building Hope.

There are a number of ways you can take part this week, including making a box, which we'll share some details of in the coming days.

In some ways it's an idea which shares a lot in common with our own Smiles & Tears Boxes, but is a little different.

There is something else we'd like you to do first though:

The Government has opened a review of the Curriculum, an excellent opportunity to highlight the importance of grief education and call for grief education to be included as an essential topic.

Research from leading experts in childhood bereavement suggests grief education should be an essential component of the curriculum, highlighting that a proactive approach can offer protective factors for children, young people, their families and wider communities (including educational settings and local communities).

The Curriculum Review closes on Friday and, additionally, the importance of grief education will be debated in Parliament on Monday 2 December 2024.

This is another opportunity to call on the Government to improve support networks for bereaved children and young people.

Plkease take some time to download the following template letter to write to, or email, your MP, and ask them to do two things:

1. Contact the Secretary of State for Education and the Chair of the Review, Professor Becky Francis CBE, highlighting the importance of grief education.

2. Attend the upcoming debate on Monday 2 December 2024, showing their support for the bereaved children and young people in their constituency.

There is a chance here to make a real difference to the future for bereaved children and young people, let's all do what we can to make it happen.
