SHARE YOUR KNOWLEDGE, SKILLS AND EXPERTISE TO SUPPORT WINDMILLS
Windmills is a young and successful charity that provides the expert, supportive one-to-one care that helps children and young people experiencing the imminent or recent death of a loved one, to find a caring and positive pathway through their grieving, which enables strong, loving and sustaining memories to be built, and death's impacts to be managed and appeased.
Windmills nurses will often be the first ones to share with a child the news about the death, or its imminence of a loved-one. There are no other specialist acute bereavement services available in the Staffordshire region (either charity or NHS) that provide the direct caring service and memory making therapies that are unique to Windmills.
The charity is called Windmills because it turns the impact of death for the vulnerable child from one of destructive negativity to one of managed positivity.
