So we started mapping services and in England, to be fair, there were some really great pockets of bereavement support available, unlike in Wales.
So we...
About four years ago, we hit our target of working with every A&E, every police force, every organ donation team, the Wales Air Ambulance team, the coroners, the mortuaries, the critical care units.
We have relationships with somebody in all of those places.
We offer counselling and support to anyone in Wales who loses a child or young adult under certain circumstances.
You know, the hospitals that we work with have all now got a suitable space pretty much for families to sit, waiting for hopefully good news, but often bad.
We offer memory boxes in all of these areas.
So wherever a child or young adult may die suddenly, a family can do memory making with the staff on duty.
And we have our immediate support pathway.
which was my biggest ambition, to make sure that no family left with a leaflet, that with their consent, their information would be given to our organisation and we will reach out to them.
That knock on the door in 24 basically became a reality.
And then we go out to the family and we'll sit with them and have that cup of tea and talk about that child and look at photos and maybe help with funeral arrangements or anything else practical.
But really it's to sit there and make that family feel that they matter, to feel that their child mattered, which is what we didn't get.
And before To Wish, most other families didn't get either.
They have to consent.
Yeah.
But majority consent.
And I talk in over like 89% of families say yes.
And yeah, we now support them.
Gosh, you know, I based it on what I thought that we could have done.
