Be More Ben

Be More Ben was established in 2018 by Shane and Sarah Pritchard following the death of their 8-year-old son, Ben. After he died, they found there was very little support for parents, even less for siblings and nothing at all for other family members. What was available was short-term or included formal meetings once or twice a year. Shane and Sarah were desperate to ensure that no parents should face losing a child alone. Be More Ben enables families to meet with others who completely understand what it’s like when your child dies. Parents and families can build their own support networks, access counselling and other therapies and have opportunities to create new memories whilst remembering their child who has died. Be More Ben supports the whole family affected by the death of a child from birth up to the age of 18. Find out more about us here.
