already started to become known in the
sector.
Thousands of our specially designed
resources have been sent out to charities,
families and other organisations (like schools
and children’s hospices). We know from the
feedback we have received that they’re
making a valuable impact on the lives of
siblings.
Our aim to be sibling specific has been
welcomed by many organisations in the
bereavement sector, some of whom have
asked the charity to provide tailored
information about how siblings can be
supported.
We’ve also contributed to the wider sector,
with our animations being used in various
NHS services| ## **Additional information (optional)** You may choose to include further statements where relevant about: |||| |---|---|---| |Achievements against
