\nIn this issue:\u00a0Actor, Jason Watkins, becomes a Patron of Child Bereavement UK<\/p>\n

BAFTA award-winning and Olivier Award-nominated stage, film and television actor, Jason Watkins, has become a Patron of Child Bereavement UK.<\/p>\n

Very sadly, Jason and his wife Clara\u2019s two-and-a-half-year-old daughter Maude died of sepsis in 2011. He dedicated his 2015 BAFTA award to her and has actively campaigned to raise awareness of sepsis and its symptoms.<\/p>\n

On becoming Patron Jason said:<\/p>\n

\u201cThe physical and emotional trauma of losing your child is overwhelming, but Child Bereavement UK provides a touchstone that you can access, giving you practical tools to help you carry your loss with you as you move forward.”<\/em><\/strong> \u00a0<\/em><\/strong>Read more…<\/a><\/p>\n

Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and Prince Harry host Party at the Palace<\/strong>\u00a0for bereaved military children<\/strong><\/p>\n

On 13 May, our Royal Patron, The Duke of Cambridge, the Duchess of Cambridge, and Prince Harry, hosted a very special party in the grounds of Buckingham Palace for children of those who have died serving in the Armed Forces.<\/p>\n

Child Bereavement UK was proud to take part, providing information and\u00a0support on the day, along with\u00a0representatives of\u00a0other\u00a0charities that work with military families.\u00a0Our bereavement practitioners were\u00a0on hand to provide\u00a0support, information and guidance, and many families engaged in our ‘memory tree’\u00a0activity which gave them the opportunity to acknowledge and remember their special person who had died.\u00a0Click here to see more pictures from the day<\/a><\/p>\n

We have launched two brand new fundraising initiatives this summer to generate support for our work and to raise awareness of child bereavement:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"Pop in a Pound!<\/strong><\/div>\n

The round \u00a31 coin will cease to be legal tender on 15 October so this summer we want to collect as many old pounds as we can. Do you know of somewhere that may be willing to hold a collection for us? We can provide a tin and leaflets.\u00a0Each full tin could enable us to train a volunteer to help run our group support sessions for bereaved children.\u00a0To find out how you can help us with this initiative,\u00a0please email Ruth<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"Do it for Dad!<\/strong>
\nFamilies we have supported tell us that Father\u2019s Day can be a particularly difficult time when a dad, mum, grandparent, baby or child in their family has died. Join us in making this Father\u2019s Day a memorable day for all, recognising the contribution that father figures make to the lives of children and others. Everyone can get involved whether you decide to make, create or just donate \u2013\u00a0\u00a0find out more<\/a><\/p>\n

Our recent bereavement training workshop for professionals working in neonatal care explored how to support\u00a0families faced with an uncertain future for their newborn.<\/p>\n

About the workshop, one Neonatal Staff Nurse said:<\/p>\n

\u2018 Thank you so much for this workshop. Relevant, practical topics and discussions delivered by knowledgeable and passionate facilitators. A workshop that will benefit my future practice and the babies in my care.\u2019<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n
