Our befriending service offers peer-to-peer support for those who have experienced a loss. The support can be accessed at any point and all of our befrienders are parents or grandparents who have lost babies or children that are twins, triplets or more.
Please note Twins Trust BSG Befriending is not counselling but support from other parents. As a charity we do not offer counselling but we do encourage you to access whatever services your hospital may offer. Many hospitals have bereavement support counsellors which you can access at any point on your journey through your bereavement.
If you feel you would benefit from talking to someone, please complete the form at the bottom of this page.
Our befrienders also offer support via our online support group meeting. Find out about upcoming groups.
The difference between counselling and befriending is there's no professional agenda. She really knows and understands. Having a befriender makes me feel like I’m not alone.
