Grief Support. Community. Change.
​
At the Centre for Grief and Healing (Bereaved Families of Ontario – Halton/Peel), we are more than a place of support—we are a movement for change. With your help, we provide compassionate spaces for those navigating loss while also challenging the way society understands and responds to grief.
​
Your donations make an immediate impact, ensuring no one has to face grief alone. By organizing a fundraiser in support of our work, you’re not just raising funds—you’re helping us tackle grief illiteracy, break the silence around loss, and create a world where grief is met with understanding and care.
Together, we can change the conversation around grief.
​
Whether you already have an idea or you need inspiration, we will help guide you through the planning process and provide you with the tools, resources and support to organize a successful fundraiser. From the smallest gestures to the biggest endeavours and everything in between, you can give people experiencing grief help, hope and a uplifted tomorrow.​​
Why Get Involved?
Over 300,000 people die in Canada every year, leaving many people deeply grieving and needing emotional support. Your donation will help to ensure that we can offer every person who is grieving, under any circumstance, access to tailored HELP AND HOPE in one place.
