Marching On With Hendrix gives centralised support, advice, and guidance to bereaved parents immediately after the loss of a child.

When Hendrix passed away in Bristol Hospital, he was just two years old. We, as his parents, expected to find access to support and advice easy, but it simply did not exist. We knew we had to bring Hendrix home for a time before his funeral but had to fight and search to see how this could be done. There was also nowhere to access or find signposting for specialist bereavement counselling; we could not even find essential advice about what support was out there regarding arranging a funeral and that most funeral directors, crematoriums, and cemeteries offer a child’s funeral free of charge with just the ‘extras’ being charged for.

We, as a charity, would love to change this for families who are going through the worst time of their lives.
