Many clubs don't know how to respond when grief arrives. We change that.
S'port for Grief was founded to fill a critical gap — clubs and coaches often want to help but don't have the tools. We build those tools with the bereavement sector, and put them in the hands of sport.
Our vision
A sporting world where no one has to face grief alone.
Our mission
To create a grief-aware culture in sport by equipping clubs, coaches and communities to recognise, respond to and support people experiencing grief.
