About National Bereaved Parents Day 2026
What is National Bereaved Parents Day?
National Bereaved Parents Day was set up in 2020 by the charity A Child of Mine, after they realised that there wasn’t a specific day that honoured bereaved parents from all walks of life.
National Bereaved Parents day brings together anyone affected by the death of a child to show bereaved parents that they are not alone.
A Child Of Mine aim to unite every bereaved parent from all walks of life and to try to break the silence around loss. Babies and Children do die and it’s time to stop the taboo and start talking about it and be there for bereaved parents.
When is National Bereaved Parents Day?
National Bereaved Parents Day will take place on Thursday the 3rd of July to raise awareness for all parents who have lost a child of any age, and from any circumstance.
Please join us to help spread the message, keep that conversation going, raise awareness and show the bereaved parent community that they are NOT alone.
This year’s theme is “Together We Are Stronger”.
