Bereavement Charity Expands to Support Grieving Families

The 2wish bereavement charity has officially launched its expansion into Dorset, providing vital support services to families in need.

The charity, founded by Rhian Mannings MBE in 2012, helps families who have lost a child. The expansion will also cover Devon and Cornwall, Wiltshire, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, and Merseyside.

The charity was set up after the tragic loss of Rhian's baby son George, and her husband Paul, who took his own life five days later due to grief.

Rhian had to navigate the situation alone with her two young children, which led to the start of 2wish. The charity aims to ensure no other family has to experience the same thing alone and has helped over 9,500 families since its founding.
