S'port for Grief
What we do
A connected, four-tier system helping sport communities become grief-aware — from in-depth training through to free resources anyone can use today.
A four-tier support & education system
We're building a connected, four-tier system — designed with input from experts in the bereavement sector — to help everyone in sport respond to grief with confidence and care.
Grief Ambassador Training
In-depth training to support selected individuals to become grief-aware ambassadors within their sport, club, school, or community — helping clubs build internal grief-aware leadership.

Accessible tools and support pathways for everyone — grief-aware guidance and our signposting directory to trusted bereavement services.
Free · Available nowDeveloped with expertise. Our education and resources are being shaped with input from people and organisations experienced in bereavement support, so that what we offer is safe, age-appropriate, and grounded in good practice.
Important: S'port for Grief is not a clinical, counselling, therapy, or emergency service. We are a sport-based social enterprise helping clubs and communities become more grief-aware, supportive, and connected. For clinical support, we signpost to the specialist organisations listed in our support directory.
In development
The Grief Aware Club pilot
We're piloting what it looks like for a club to become genuinely grief-aware — coaches and committee members trained, clear signposting in place, and a club culture that knows how to respond when grief touches a player, family or volunteer.
Who it's for
Sports clubs of any code who want their coaches and committee to feel confident responding to grief, and to be listed on our growing Club Aware Map.
What's involved
Grief-aware training for key club figures, access to our resource hub, and ongoing connection with S'port for Grief as the pilot develops. (Detail to be confirmed as the pilot rolls out.)
