Once Upon a Smile
We are a children's bereavement charity set up in 2011 that provides emotional and practical support to bereaved families to enable them to adjust to their new life without their loved one. We support bereaved families and children when a parent, sibling or grandparent has died, at their time of need for as long as they need it. We support children and young people from across Greater Manchester.
Once Upon a Smile was founded in August 2011, by Daniel Jillings and Danny Miller, to provide emotional and practical support to bereaved families, after it became apparent that there was a lack of support for families after the death of a loved one, specifically a parent or child/sibling.
We understood that families are often left to grieve alone with no, or little support available and this can often have a devastating impact on family life and children.We provide opportunities for children to understand and express their emotions in a fun and safe environment.
