Judges’ Award 2026 Gold £2.5 - 5Million
Child Bereavement UK’s animated film ‘Room for an elephant’ forms part of the charity’s comprehensive range of bereavement support resources and illustrates a specially written poem narrated by a young person. Inspired by the style of teen graphic novels, the film explores how taboos and awkwardness around talking about death and dying can prevent people from being supportive. Sadly, this reluctance to mention the ‘elephant in the room’ can result in bereaved young people feeling lonely and isolated. Child Bereavement UK hopes the film will help raise awareness of the difficulties of living with grief and encourage greater compassion and understanding.
Child Bereavement UK helps families to rebuild their lives when a child grieves or when a child dies. We support children and young people (up to the age of 25) when someone important to them has died or is not expected to live, and parents and the wider family when a baby or child of any age dies or is dying. We provide training to professionals in health and social care, education, and the voluntary and corporate sectors, equipping them to provide the best possible care to bereaved families.
We align with the following UN Sustainable Development Goals:
