Our Vision
Our Mission
When a family loses a child or young adult the effects are devastating for all who knew and loved
them. Our mission is to ensure that all those affected by the sudden and traumatic death of a
child or young adult aged 25 or under throughout Wales receive the bereavement support they
deserye.
Rhian's Story
On the 22nd February my one-year old son George passed
away. He died suddenly after suffering a seizure at home. It
was discovered later that George was suffering from
Bronchial Pneumonia and Type A Influenza.
IV
Just 5 days later my husband and best friend Paul tragically
died. He was 33 years old. I was left alone to support my
other two young children.
Nobody came, no support was offered. and it was left to my
family and friends to get me through my loss.
2wish was initially set up following their deaths as
simple memorial fund. However, due to the overwhelming
support and generosity of a small Welsh community the
fund became a registered Charity in October 2012.
Bereaved families and professionals working with sudden death then started reaching out.
identifying with the gap that my family had discovered.
IAV4
This gap in the system had to be filled. No parents should have to face loss alone. Paul was so
traumatised by the loss of his son he walked out of his home. leaving a wife and two young children
and never came back.
Our Aims for familles in England and Wales
Ensure every Emergency Department has a suitable bereavement suite
for bereaved families.
Ensure that bereavement boxes are available for families at each of these hospitals.
Ensure that immediate bereavement support is available for suddenly bereaved families.
Provide a professional bereavement counselling service.
Provide support to individuals who witness the sudden and traumatic death of a child
• or young adult.
Provide support for professionals who are affected by the sudden death of a child or young adult.
Provide staff support and traifting.

Welcome from our Chair
It is an honour and a privilege for me to write this
Annual Report for the first time as Chair of this
unique charity.
Firstly, on behalf of myself and my fellow board
members I'd like to say a huge thank you to our
outgoing Chair, Jo Foxall. In my tenure as Chair, I
strive to be as attentive and skilful in the role as
Jo was.
I have been involved with 2wish for a few years in one capacity or another and
people often ask me how I would describe the charity. I could describe 2wish
through its unique and inspiring mission to ensure that all those affected by
the sudden and traumatic death of a child or young adult aged 25 or under
receive the bereavement support they deserve.
I could describe it in numbers. e.g. through the staggering impact of having
received 7,952 death referrals and as a result supported over 6,000 individuals
since it started delivering its services in 2012.
However, when l answer this question, I prefer to describe what I see when I
stand back, look and reflect on 2wish. A quote by Francis of Assisi that goes,
"Start by doing what's necessary, then do what's possible, and suddenly you
are doing the impossible., always comes to mind.
When I think of the journey 2wish has been on this is exactly what I see. In
2012 when our CEO Rhian lost her one-year-old son George and then just 5
days later lost her husband Paul, she did what she felt was necessary to
ensure that anyone else in her and Paul's situation, at least locally, would be
treated with dignity and have the support they deserved in their darkest of
times. Through founding and growing 2wish Rhian found it was possible to
support more and more people in more and more ways.

And now look where we are. Even just a few years ago it would have seemed
impossible that 2wish could be supporting people across not just the whole of
Wales but in 7 English counties as well.
This, then, is how I describe 2wish. An organisation that redefines the
impossible to provide the support services it believes people deserve. It then
executes these services brilliantly through the most inspiring team of people I
have ever worked with.
This has been a momentous and
defining year for 2wish. In
January of 2024, for the first
time, we opened our doors to
services in England, specifically
in the counties of Cheshire,
Shropshire, Herefordshire,
Worcestershire, Gloucestershire,
Avon and Somerset, as the first phase of a planned multi-phase expansion
program to cover the whole of England. This initial phase includes 18 hospitals
and 4 police forces.
*********
,***¥.***¥*
To the end of September 2024, in England, 2wish received 110 death referrals
supporting 508 individuals, proving the need for its services in England and
evidencing the huge body of work done by the 2wish team to prepare and
deliver these services.
Growing 2wish from a Wales only charity to one that will provide support
incrementally across an expanding scope in England alongside a non-negotiable
commitment to ensure services in Wales remain intact, has meant
transformational scale change. Key strategic focus areas included a salary
structure for recruitment and retention. a scalable organisational structure, a
strengthened governance model to ensure the charity grows safely, prudent
financial controls for sustainable growth and fundraising to support service
expansion.

2wish has its roots in a strong community of staff, volunteers, supporters and
partners. Maintaining this community will be vital to our future success in
bringing our critical services to those who need them across an increasing
geographical scope.
Looking ahead, we're excited to build on the momentum and achievements of
2024. Our strategic priorities will include maintaining, strengthening, and
growing our corporate partnerships while developing sustainable income
streams through, e.g., grants and foundations and legacy giving. Community
fundraising and events will remain strategically important both through the
revenue they generate but also through the connection they create with the
communities we serve.
Other key focus areas include growing our excellent relationships with the
Welsh Parliament out to the UK Government to help support our expansion of
service provision into England.
Operational Efficiency will alway5 be key to ensuring every possible penny
raised will be spent on supporting families, professionals and anyone else
affected by the sudden and traumatic death of a child or young adult aged 25
or under.
I want to thank my fellow board members for their wisdom and guidance. I
am humbled by and thank our community of staff, volunteers, supporters and
partners. Together, we are making a real difference to people whose lives have
been affected in ways they could never have imagined.
This is what drives us.
Martyn Sayce
Chair

Welcome from our CEO
As another year draws to a close. we take a moment to
ref lect on the incredible journey that 2wish has had in
the past 12 months. It has been a year of growth.
resilience, and continued commitment to our mission.
We want to extend our heartfelt gratitude to our
amazing staff, dedicated Trustees, selfless volunteers,
and the wonderful families who have supported us
along the way.
None of this would have been possible without each
of you believing in what we do and the difference we make.
This year has seen 2wish grow rapidly, and while we have
expanded our services, it is important to note that our core values have remained constant.
At the heart of everything we do is our belief in supporting people through their grief in a way
that feels right for them. We understand that grief affects everyone differently, and that's why
we strive to offer personalised, compassionate support tailored to the individual needs of each
person we work with.
We are incredibly proud of the work we have accomplished, and this would not be possible
without the collective effort of so many people. Our staff continues to show unwavering
dedication, and our Trustees remain steadfast in guiding us forward.
Our volunteers are the lifeblood of our charity, always ready to lend a hand and make
meaningf ul impact in the lives of those we serve. And, of course, our families, who continue to
inspire us with their strength, courage, and trust.
As we look back on the year, we are filled with gratitude for every moment of support, every
story shared, and every life touched.
As we enter a new year, we remain committed to helping those who need it most. Our mission
continues to evolve, but we promise to always be guided by the values of compassion, respect,
and a deep understanding of the diverse ways in which grief impacts people's lives.
Thank you once again for your continued support. and we look forward to another year of
making a difference together.
With deep appreciation and hope for the future,
Rhian xx

Our Support
Financial Year October 2023- September 2024:
. From 1st October 2023- 30th September 2024, we received 355 referrals. OF those
referrals. 239 of the referrals were immediate and 116 were historic.
Immediate referrals are classified as deaths referred into our service via the
immediate support pathway, usually in the hours/days following the death. Historic
deaths are when the death occurred two, or more, months prior to the referral coming
into the organisation. There are many reasons a death may not have been referred to
the service right away-whether the family didn't feel ready to engage at the time, or
the loss occurred many years ago. Each situation is deeply personal, and we recognise
that people come to us at different points in their journey
Since service delivery began, we have received 7,952 referrals into the charity
supporting approximately 6.313 individuals.
. 66% of referrals accepted the offer of a home visit from their Immediate Support
Coordinator within the first two weeks of being referred.
. 9f/o of families were contacted within 48 hours. The remaining 3Yo were contacted
within the time period requested by the family.
. 36Yo of referrals received were for females and 64Yo were for males.

Our main referral partners continue to be hospitals and police forces. We
have worked hard to embed our service and ensure that, with their
consent, families are being referred directly into the charity by
professional.
This approach allows for seamless support and relieves the pressure of an
individual having to trawl the internet searching for an organisation that
may, or may not, be able to support them.
36/0 of referrals came from the hospitals. 24°A from police officers and
4/ from Coroner's Officers.
16/0 referred themselves and 6Yo were referred by a friend or family
member.
The remaining 14/0 were referred by others including GPS, Counsellor,
College or University. Health Visitor. Charity or a Mental health service.

Expansion
On 2. January we launched our service
into phase one of England! Service
delivery across phase one areas include
Cheshire. Shropshire, Herefordshire.
Worcestershire. Gloucestershire, Avon
and Somerset.
The later half of 2023 laid the foundations
for the service by developing
relationships and raising awareness with
future referral partners, recruitment of a
new support team to deliver the service
and expanding the existing team in
departments such as f inance. HR and
marketing to ensure we had capacity
within the teams and were able to
successfully launch into England.
We developed relationships and raised
awareness with our primary referral
partners, namely hospital and police
forces, across the seven counties of
expansion including 18 hospitals all with
an A&E, 4 police forces, and many existing
third sector organisations to encourage
joint working and a positive reception to
the expansion.
We employed seven staff to deliver the service in phase one of England, a Bereavement
Services Manager, four Immediate Support Coordinators and two Counselling and Support
Outreach Coordinators. and trained them ready to start delivering the service.
Since the launch of our service. in the first nine months. we have received 150 death
referrals of children and young people, 4510 of which were received f rom hospitals and police
forces, supporting 693 individuals.
We have developed the fundraising team in England by recruiting a Fundraising Manager and
two Community Fundraisers, we have points of contact within all hospitals and police forces
and have met with many local and national third sector organisations.
Service delivery in England includes memory boxes. immediate support. counselling.
complementary therapy, play therapy. coffee mornings. access to our ￿sPite house and.
from the second half of the year, will bring a focus upon further developing the service to
include support events and professional coffee mornings for our referral partners.

Community fundraising momentum is building as the community continues to be nurtured
and develop. We have received commitment from the Cheshire Police and Crime
Commissioner for the next two years and are focused upon income streams to support the
continuation of phase one as we look to expand into further phases.
We continue to provide our service in Wales and funding f rom the Valour Foundation over
the past eighteen months has allowed us to stabilise that arm of the organisation. Hard to
f und roles such as our Deputy CEO. Head of Fundraising and Community Fundraising roles
have been part funded, as well as crucial elements to our work, such as the website and
advertising costs.
We are thrilled with the progress made to date and are excited for the future too. We
have taken the f irst. and hardest. step. and have a successful template to develop with
confidence further af ield in line with our funding proposal.

Fundraising:
We were delighted to be the headline charity for the Front Runner. Great Welsh Marathon.
held in Pembrey and the In It Together Festival. held in Margam Park. Bridgend for the second
year running. This provided an incredible awareness opportunity for 2wish.
We successfully recruited the fundraising team for phase one. overseen by the Head of
Fundraising, who oversees both Wales and England fundraising teams.
We raised £26.577 from our annual Little Ball of Hope. and were delighted to be joined by
Valour Foundation, Co-Director, Steve Hayden and his wife Michelle.
£39,000 raised in England in 2024 so far. £13,000 of this came from a family supported by the

family to join them in running sk a day everyday in May! The family continue to raise funds for
2wish.
Marketing and Communications:
Our launch campaign, Talk2Us' kicked off on the 27th of February 2024 marking our official
launch into phase one of England.
We have delivered some powerful campaigns including:
Our annual Vilomay campaign held throughout the month of May. Vilomay is a play on the
word, 'Vilomah'. which is a Sanskrit word that means against a natural order. It's used to
describe a person whose child has died.
Let's Talk BereaveMENt - A campaign to raise awareness about men's grief and how we can
best support men through their grieving process.
We developed our social media platforms and now host two accounts for each platform,

Jac's Story
On Sunday the 12th of November 2023 my son.
Jac Walters was tragically taken from me as a result
of a road traffic collision.
Jac and I lived in West Wales and as he grew older it
was becoming clear that the opportunities for him to
find a job and career were difficult. We were in the
process of looking for a new home near Bridgend.
where there would be much more opportunities for
him.
Jac enjoyed working with cars and body work and a family member had been making
enquiries at a local Audi Garage for him. We were both looking forward to a fresh
start and we had everything to look forward to.
The day before the collision is a day I will cherish for the rest of my life. Jac and I
spent a lovely day shopping, Jac spending his birthday gift vouchers early, something
that I give him each year. We had a bite to eat. sat in the car by the seafront for a
little while chatting and listening to some of Jac's music he'd produced. Later, we
spent time with Jac's close family at their caravan playing games and watching a
Christmas film. We made these lovely memories before Jac said he may be going to a
music event later that evening.
Later that evening, I was watching television and Jac came in to say goodbye as he
was going out to a music event. I was weary about him going as I'd heard there had
been issues on the M4 motorway and l asked him not to go. Jac reassured me that
everything would be fine. he gave me a kiss and said goodbye.
The following day I was in work when I was approached by a police officer and
received the worse news a mother could ever hear. From this moment every element
of my life changed, physically, socially, emotionally, financially and mentally. That day
I not only lost my son, but I lost my best friend as well.
Soon after losing my darling Jac, I had to endure my first Mother's Day and birthday,
which followed each other. without him. I cannot find words to describe the
overwhelming pain and despair I felt dealing with the reality that I would never again
share any precious moments or milestones wtth my son.

Being part of a very large family and given that Jac and I have a very large circle of
friends, Jac's loss has broken so many hearts and will remain the same forever.
Before the collision I was an independent and confident person. l always had a job,
even when Jac was only 5 % months old. I worked in a small family run clothes and
gift shop and dealt with customers and members of the public on a daily basis. I
enjoyed socialising with friends and family. I ran our home, organised day to day life,
paid the bills and did everything I could to support our family.
Now I have panic attacks and suffer with anxiety. My emotions overwhelm me, my
chest feels tight, and it feels like I'm having a heart attack. The thought of having to
go out in public makes me anxious and panicked. I worry about seeing somebody I
know who isn't aware of what's happened to Jac.
I get embarrassed when I get upset when having to explain what happened. The
thought of re-living this over and over again is too much. It has affected my normal
day to day activities like going shopping and making appointments. It's incredibly
hard and sometimes impossible just to step outside the house.
I have been diagnosed with anxiety and depression and am now medicated. I hate
the fact I must take tablets just to get through the day but unfortunately, it's
something I've sadly come to accept.
I have also received complimentary reflexology treatment through the charity, 2Wish,
which have helped me greatly. My lifestyle ha5 changed, and I now spend a lot of
time at support groups speaking with other people who have had to deal with what
I'm going through.
Jac's death has left me asking myself what I have done to deserve all this hurt and
pain. I've always tried to do the right thing and help people. I've always worked hard.
I constantly think about the what if's and what could have been if things had been
different.
Losing Jac has affected every part of my life and things will never be the same again.
It has left me heart broken and I miss him every day.

Working in Partnership
Celebrating Corporate Support in 2023-24
The financial year 2023-24 saw many exciting developments for 2wish. with
corporate partnerships playing a vital role in the charity's continued growth and
success. Thanks to the generosity and commitment of our corporate supporters,
we have been able to expand our reach, introduce new initiatives. and enhance
our fundraising efforts.
March 2023 marked a milestone with the introduction of our first-ever
International Women's Day (IWD) event, held at the stunning Llanerch Vineyard.
Over 150 guests gathered to celebrate and hear from an inspiring line-up of
speakers, including Rhian Manning, our CEO, Amy Wadge, the acclaimed singer-
songwriter behind hits for Ed Sheeran, and Nia Jones, the accomplished Welsh
netball and football star. This landmark event was made possible by the
generous sponsorship of Hugh James and Quinn's Training, demonstrating the
growing corporate support for our initiatives.
In January 2024, we launched another exciting new event, the first-ever '2 Miles
for 2wish' challenge. with MPS Healthcare as the headline sponsor. This initiative
encouraged people to get active in the new year, with over 150 participants
taking part and raising in excess of £14,800 to support bereaved families.
Corporate partnerships also played a key role in expanding our Business
Ambassador Programme. launched in April 2024 with founding members Jenine
Gill and Rebecca Rees. This programme continues to grow. enabling us to
strengthen connections within the local business community and beyond.
The introduction of our 'Meet the Neighbours, events has further enhanced
engagement. allowing businesses to network while learning about the vital work
of 2wish.

heartfelt gratitude to all our corporate supporters, sponsors. and partners who
have contributed to making 2023-24 such a successful year.

Ruby's Story
Ruby was an identical twin and was born 9 weeks
early due to a condition called twin to twin
transfusion, her sister Chloe was sadly born sleeping.
Ruby was a fighter from the start and after 6 weeks
in special care she came home, weighing a tiny 51b
Ruby was just 17 when she passed away. she was just
a beautiful young lady inside and out. Ruby was a
loving daughter. sister. girlfriend and wonderful
friend to many. Ruby was at Hartpury college
studying Sports and Exercise science and part of the
Hartpury netball academy.
Ruby was a keen netball player and avid Rugby
supporter. Ruby would spend most weekends playing
netball for her local club Stroud Ladies. watching
Gloucester Rugby and on a Sunday watching her
boyfriend Theo playing, no matter the weatherl
Ruby was even a mascot for Gloucester Rugby when she was 7, a memory we will treasure
forever. Ruby had just been accepted into all 4 Chiropractic institutes to start achieving
her dream of bein9 a Chiropractor, but sadly her life was cut short so suddenly and
tragically.
On the morning of the 22. March it started as a normal day, Ruby moaned as there was no
orange juice left, before starting to put her shoes on to go off to college. I soon heard
Ruby breathing very heavy and at first thought she needed her inhaler, but quickly realised
something was wrong, so I phoned for an ambulance. The next 20 minutes went past in a
blur and soon we had 4 paramedics, a doctor and air ambulance team all in our front room.
Ruby had collapsed very suddenly and needed multiple CPR to stabilise her to a point that
she could be moved.
Ruby was rushed to Southmead hospital where after tests we were told she had suffered a
stroke due to a blood clot on her brain and a large clot on her lung. Despite 2 operations
and many procedures we were told that Ruby wasn't going to survive and just after
midnight our little girl was gone.

Twelve months on now and we still don* know why a healthy and fit daughter had such
large blood clots with no symptoms. Although we may not get those answers, we hope
that we do, so it may at least help prevent such tragedy happening to another family.
After that horrid day we felt like we were living a daily nightmare, with the whole family
was completely lost, until a week later a friend from school who now lives in Wales asked
me if she could send me details for 2Wish. Although unsure of how this would ever help,
we made contact and into our lives walked Rachel. It instantly felt as if Ruby had sent
Rachel to us.
We soon received a call from 2wish and the first meeting was arranged. The first time we
met Rachel {our immediate support coordinator) it honestly felt as if someone had just
walked into our lives and wrapped us in their arms. Her comfort and understanding is
indescribable and the support she has provided (with her colleagues) to our whole family
is immeasurable. We have met a guardian angel and consider Rachel as a good friend. We
look forward to her visits, conversation and hugs and are so so grateful to our friend
Louise for thinking of us and 2Wish.
Their support has extended beyond our immediate family including Ruby's boyfriend and
her close friends. They really do go above and beyond, at a time when you don't know
which way to turn.
Without 2Wish I'm not sure how we'd be navigating the new norm we find ourselves
living.
Since Ruby left us. RUb￿S brother. Toby. her boyfriend and a group of friends have all
completed the Stroud Half marathon in her memory. we have hosted a quiz night at our
local and had a raffle all raising money for 2Wish to try and thank them as much as we
can for the support we have been given.
We have now raised an amazing £10.800 and we will continue to raise more money in the
future to keep her memory alive and help 2Wish spread their support wider afield for
those that suffer something so tragic.
Being part of the 2Wish family has helped us massively these last 12 months so anything
we can do to raise awareness or raise money we will continue to do so
A massive thank you from us both
Jo & Neville Mills

serene and comfortable to come. They spend a lot of hours sat out here,
unfortunately, while we are trying to save their relatives"
"Sometimes that's not possible and they have to come to terms with that
news here. Just to have pleasant surroundings, just to make it even a little
bit better, in the worst time of their lives. is appreciated"

Memory Boxes
Every Emergency Unit, Intensive Care and Paediatric ward across Wales and service areas in
England stores our memory boxes to give immediately to families once their child has passed
away. Boxes are also provided to siblings and additional family members.
One of our main charity aims is to ensure that families who have lost a child or young person
suddenly, are offered one of our Memory Boxes, which are stocked in every hospital
throughout Wales.
We have spent £18,625.34 providing 532 Memory Boxes to families affected by the sudden
death of a child or young person.

Immediate Support
2wish offers immed late support after the sudden and unexpected death of a chi Id
or young person aged 25 years and under. With consent, a professional will pass
on the person's details, and they will then be contacted by telephone within 48
hours of the referral by one of our Immediate Support Coordinators.
When making the initial telephone contact, the Immediate Support Coordinator
will arrange a home visit with the family as soon as possible and assess the
individual needs of the person or family they are supporting. Our Immediate
Support Coord inators are there to help individuals understand the processes that
happen following sudden death, provide emotional support, and help in any way
they can. Immediate support is provided for as long as risk and need are present.
Of the 355 deaths from 1st
October 2023- 30th September
2024, 116 were historic resulting
in 239 families requiring
immediate support.
l am always thinking of you and will
never forget your help and support.
You helped us through the darkest
days. Thank you.
9710 of families have received an
initial support call within 48
hours. The remaining 3Y had a
call outside of this time frame as
requested by the professional or
individual referring into the
service.

Ongoing Support
Over time. we see individuals gain more independence and the immediate
support comes to an end. The Immediate Support Coordinator will inform
individuals about other ways they can access ongoing support through
2wish, should they need it.
The ongoing support is not time limited, allowing access any time after the
death of a child or young person. We do not put a timeline on grief and our
services can be accessed at any time, whether the death happened
yesterday or twenty years ago.
It really is so good that 2wish
don* just give up on people if
at first, they're not ready for
support because t¢xlay was
invaluable and so, so needed in
small place like Pembs
Counselling doesn't aim to hurry the
process along; it supports people as
they grieve, in their own way and in
their own time. 2wish provide funded
sessions of 1.1 counselling with a local.
qualified, BACP registered counsellor.
This service can be accessed as an
individual, a couple, or as a young
person.
2wish
can
also
offer
counselling
sessions
via
instant
messaging or over the phone if
preferred.
It was a real struggle to
leave the house for my
complimentary therapy
session but I'm so glad I
went because I feel so
much more relaxed
2wish now has 376 counsellors,
complementary therapists and play
therapists recruited at 2wish that we
work closely with to provide an
extensive service to those who need to
access our support.
Thank you so muchl I've really
enjoyed the massages l*e had so
far. Feels nice to actually relax and
feel some peace for a change. I feel
like I wouldn't be where l am now
without 2wish so thank you so
much.

Complementary Therapy.
2wish offers a range of complementary therapies including reflexology and
massage. These services can have calming. soothing. and rebalancing benefits,
effective for treating stress. anxiety. and insomnia. As well as the physical
symptoms linked with grief. Complementary therapies can be used solely or
combined with counselling.
Regular support events are held throughout the year and are tailored to the relationship and
location of those we work with. Our events offer the opportunity to enjoy new experiences
whilst coming together with others who understand the journey of bereavement and loss.
Across Wales and England we delivered 15 support events including:
Jewellery workshop
Christmas wreath-making
Alpaca experience
Meditation and breath workshop
Sound Bath meditation
Men's online forum
Canal boat trip
Our coffee mornings offer emotional support by providing a safe, welcoming space to share
experiences of bereavement and connect with others who understand the impact of grief. These
events foster a sense of community reducing feelings of isolation and offer comfort through
shared stories and mutual understanding. The informal settings allow families and friends to
talk openly, seek advice and form relationships with others who truly understand.
We have delivered 89 coffee mornings across Wales and phase one England

Children and Young People
2wish offers support for children and young people when they've lost a sibling or friend
who was a child or young person. With consent from a parent or guardian, our Children
and Young Person Coordinator and/or Immediate Support Coordinators will provide
emotional and practical support to siblings, relatives, and friends.
We understand that sometimes young people feel isolated in their grief and may
struggle with difficult emotions or feel alone. We offer a safe space for them to speak
privately with one of our friendly team al)out their feelings, emotions, and anything else
they wish to talk about.
We hold regular support events giving children and young people the opportunity to
enjoy new experiences in a safe environment and meet others who have experienced
similar loss. 2wish also help schools, colleges and universities with bereavement support
which can be provided through bespoke workshops. group. and individual sessions.
Play Therapy is a form of psychotherapy that uses play to help children deal with
emotional and mental health issues. By using play and creative techniques, children
are able to explore their feelings and thoughts and begin to process and understand
muddled feelings and upsetting events.
Play Therapy is suitable for children aged 4-12 years old. All of our Play Therapists
are BAPT or PTUK registered.
though we support families and
children that have been affected by the
sudden death of a child or young
person, I realise that a huge proportion
of those children have pre-existing
mental health issues.
Nicola Watts - Children and Young
Person Coordinator - 2wish

Children and Young People Events
We hold regular support events giving children and young people the opportunity to
enjoy new experiences in a safe environment and meet others who have
experienced a similar loss.
Some of the events include:
Pottery Painting afternoon
Climbing Centre adventure
Held on the first Saturday of each month, in partnership with Emerald Therapies

session is accessible to all and meets various creative and active interests,
creating a safe space for young people to talk and access peer support.

Support for Professionals
It may be assumed that because of someone's job role, that they may encounter death, it
won't affect them and that it's part of the job and they 'used to it,. However we know
that this isn't necessarily the case
it could be immediate or it may take days, weeks,
months or years, but the feelings of grief may catch up with that person.
Professionals such as funeral directors. GPS, teachers. sports coaches, health visitors.
legal teams and so many more who have to deal with child death as part of their working
lives. but may never have received support or training in how to best support the loved
ones they come into contact with.
In 2016. we off icially extended the offer of support to professionals from any sector who,
at any point in their career, have been affected by the sudden and unexpected death of a
child or young person.
We are able to offer support in a number of ways, all of which are confidential and
arranged by 2wish. We strive to work with professionals to ensure that we can offer
support in a way that f its with work commitments and daily life.

supported this with a big launch campaign 'Talk2us' on the same day.
Working with Cardiff marketing agency Orchard on the media buying and
creative. and Church Village based PR agency Front Door Communications. we
delivered a multi channel campaign that incorporated radio and paid social
media. out of home (also known as outdoor advertising. refers to billboards,
signage. or other highly visual, highly impactful media displayed in public
spaces people walk past and drive by every day) and public relations to
amplify our launch had a combined reach of over 3 million.

Enthuse: A Ticketing, Events and Fundraising Overhaul.
December 2023 saw the onboarding of popular fundraising platform Enthuse.
This development has enhanced our ticketing process and events
communications, integrated our fundraising process into our ticketing,
increasing the likelihood of registrations proceeding to raise funds, and
opened up virtual events opportunities like our '2miles for 2wish' which has
become a regular fixture in the 2wish calendar.

A Growing Team
The marketing team grew by one, as we welcomed our Social Media Assistant
Rose in May 2024. A dedicated Social Media Assistant has allowed us to
manage our social media internally, alleviating the need for external support.
This has had a profoundly positive impact on the charity, as we can now better
manage the organisation's comms needs. develop a social media strategy and
create far more engaging content.
As we've expanded and become more active in each of our phase one
expansion areas, it's been all the more important to have Rose on board to
manage our output across England and Wales, as this would not have been
achievable without her.
Campaigns
We ran a series of awareness campaigns throughout the year, highlighting a
range of topics to drive uptake in support, as well as funds and revenue.
2wish Star Appeal: Oct - Dec 2023
Talk2us (England Launch campaign): Feb 2024

Fundraising
We are continually inspired by the incredible generosity, creativity, and energy
that our community pours into fundraising efforts. Whether through bake
sales, sponsored challenges, community events, or acts of kindness, each
fundraiser big or small makes a meaningful difference and helps drive our
mission forward.
We'd like to extend our heartfelt thanks to every single person who has taken
the time and effort to get involved. Your support is truly invaluable. Of
course, we can't possibly include details of every amazing fundraising activity
undertaken so here are just a few highlights that showcase the spirit and
dedication of our supporters.
Across July and August, Trevor took on the monumental challenge of cycling
11 the way from John O'Groats to Lands End, to raise funds and awareness for
2wish Cymru. Trevor also did this In Memory of six boys from South Wales;
Joe Daniels. Rhys Jones (aka Butters), Ben Thomas, Ryan Gibbons, Lewis
Davies, and Trevor's nephew. Ryan Hamer.
Not only did Trevor absolute smash the cycle, he also came all the way from
New Zealand to do it too! Trevor raised an incredible £5.888 for 2wish Cymru,
and wore his 2wish cycling top everywhere to raise awareness. It was an
absolute pleasure supporting Trevor on his journey. and we really appreciate
all the time and effort that he and his family and friends put into this amazing
challenge.
Thank You Trevor!

Oliver and his family have been supported by 2wish since 2021, and they have been
the most wonderful volunteers in North Wales.
Oliver has been an amazing help with awareness stands. our static
bike cycles in supermarkets. and assisting with Gorgeous George.
He is always eager to participate in any 2wish event, and he does
so with a smile on his face.
Oliver's dedication doesn't stop there. He has also walked Snowdon to fundraise for
2wish Cymru and has more recently held a bake sale, raising over £250. Oliver's
contributions and his positive attitude have been invaluable to our
efforts in North Wales.
We are deeply grateful for his unwavering commitment and the
incredible impact he has made. Because of this, we decided that
Oliver will be our first young ambassador for North Wales!
When Oliver was presented this, he couldn't have been happier. He's
already talking about what he can do to help grow an amazing Young Ambassador
community.

Fundraising in England 23 - 24
Our fundraising journey in England began in 2024, where Head of Fundraising,
Daisy Magill completed outreach to each of the bordering counties. this consisted
of attending business shows, joining local business chambers and sourcing
opportunities for us to share the 2wish story.
Recruitment began in February to hire the England Fundraising team. Milly Wheeler,
Fundraising Manager joined the team in March 2024.
The recruitment of the regional fundraisers took longer than anticipated, with the
Regional fundraiser role for Gloucestershire. Somerset & Avon. Naomi Willingham
joining us in July 2024.
Community fundraising has been a key source of income that we saw in the first
year of operation. This is a testament to the support received by people in the
border counties, and them seeking ways to give back to 2wish and memorialise
their loved ones.

Spotlight on Barry's Fundraising Journey.
Barry Curtis. together with Michelle. his friends and family has taken on the inspiring
challenge of climbing the highest peak in every UK county to raise funds for 2wish,
in loving memory of his daughter Lucy. Here is Lucy's story. shared in Barry's own
words.
Our Daughter Lucy passed away on New Year's Day 2024 at the age of 17. The
months since have been so very difficult.
Christmas was a great day. full of fun and laughter. Lucy was very impressed with
life-sized Harry styles cut out that we had chosen for her (Lucy and some friends
had seen Harry twice last summer). Lucy loved music so much and last year she went
to loads of concerts.
She also had tickets to see Taylor this coming summer she had bought with her
money from working as a barista at a local café. Coffee, was again something that
Lucy was a big fan off, but it had to be goodl She was the most fantastic barista,
she excelled in everything she did.
On Boxing Day, we went for a dog walk together. In October, Lucy had convinced us
that a puppy would be a good ideal She found "the one" a cocker spaniel crossed
with a retriever. Rosie aka "the golden dog."
24 hours later Lucy was in the ICU. On New Year's Day our world crumbled when we
were told that there was nothing more that they could do. Lucy was an organ donor,
she had signed up twice, once before a trip to New York in Feb 23 and once when
she applied for her driving licence. This gave us a couple of extra, precious days.
Knowing that Lucy signed up twice to organ donation was very humbling. It saves
lives. If you can then I would urge you to also sign up and talk to your family about
your wishes.
During this time I had a call from Rachel and a charity I had never heard of asking if
she could see us, I can't be sure, but think I said something like "if you want" and left
it at that.
Shortly after Rachel arrived from 2wish - we all warmed to her really quickly. We
were in such a state of shock. but it was lovely to be told that Rachel was there
for us, as were all of 2wish.

Over the coming weeks, Rachel visited often, it gave us something in our diary
and someone to talk to. who understood. We have spoken. laughed and cried
together. Even the dogs look forward to seeing her arrive!
Since Lucy died. we have attended 2wish events and coffee mornings. met the
2wish team and other parents. No two stories are the same, however the feelings
and loss are comparable. and we have found that there can be comfort in talking
to others. In the coming months and years we will be raising money for 2wish in
Lucy's name.
Lucy was the most kind, caring, loyal, intelligent, artistic young women who put
everybody else before herself, even in her darkest moments. Lucy made such a
difference to our lives and everyone around her. She will be remembered as the
girl who changed things. We will cherish the 17 amazing years we had with Lucy
always.
The Fundraising Team met with Barry and Michelle to support with their
fundraising goall Barry explained the challenge that he wanted to take on,
walking the highest peaks of each county in England, Scotland and Wales.
Barry set an ambitious target of £30,000 with the aim to complete the challenge
by the following year.
To help achieve this they have had support of friends. family and Barry's
workplace to ensure that they reach the target.
The expansion continued to develop over 23/24, with a real focus on raising
awareness, working collaboratively with the support team and working on
engaging with local businesses in each of our areas to gain support.

so much joy. I love spendlng tlme with the
fabulous volunteer team, we always end
up havlng so much fvn and I never leave a
volunteerlng event wlthout a smlle on my
face and a lovely sense of belonglng.
There are many ways in which they get involved from
bucket collections, attendings fayres and networking
events with our awareness stand and our pop up shop,
putting together memory boxes and support packs or
helping out with off ice administration.
I've met so many wonderful people and
2wlsh famllies throughout the dlfferent
events..
Elinor Rldout
Our charity volunteer ambassadors play a key role in raising awareness and support for 2wish
through speaking and representing the charity in the community. They are passionate about our
aims and objectives and highlighting the charities key messages.
Ambassadors help us by;
Inspiring their communities. families, and friends to support the charity.
Attending community f undraising events and cheque presentations.
Giving presentations and talks in the community and at events.
Attending 2wish events to lend a hand and cheer on our amazing participants.
Promoting 2wish campaigns.
Working with the community fundraiser to aid with research.
Generally, volunteers are invited to become ambassadors and we could not do without their
onstant love. help, and support.
Young Ambassadors
Young Ambassadors are the next generation of leaders and fundraisers for 2wish. They often come
with f irst-hand experience about growing up through their most formative years. whilst also
navigating their way through grief.
We're so proud to have so many young people volunteering for 2wish, representing the charity in
their schools, colleges. and extra-curricular clubs.
Welfare Officers
2wish currently provide a team of trained volunteers (Welfare off icers) to attend some major
running events in Wales. to provide support to individual runners and their families in the case of an
emergency.
Following the sudden death of two runners at the Cardiff Half Marathon in 2018, the charity was
approached by Run4Wales and the idea of Welfare Officers was discussed. These off icers, who have
received training f rom us, attend the events representing 2wish and are on hand, placed at event
control. to support in the event of an emergency.

Thank You
Thank you to all of our trustees, volunteers,
fundraisers and partners for supporting us this
year.
Without you, we could not provide immediate and
ongoing bereavement
support for
families,
individuals and professionals affected by the
sudden and traumatic death of a child or young
adult aged 25 or under.
Best wishes, 2 Wish staff
Together we can make
a difference to those
suddenly bereaved

2wish
Since 2012, we have been at the forefront of providing compassionate and
caring sudden bereavement support in Wales and have developed incredible
services that we know make a huge difference to people's lives.
As the number of those in need sadly continues to grow, we are determined to
always be there whenever we are needed.
