Volunteer Opportunities

Shape the future of bereavement support in Staffordshire for children and young people – Join us as a trustee Windmills is a young, dynamic charity providing expert one-to-one support for children and young people, when a loved one has received a terminal diagnosis or when a death has happened suddenly. Our specialist nurses help them process anticipated grief, create strong and loving memories, and find a positive path through the most difficult of times. Often the first to gently share news of a loved one's diagnosis and its reality, our team delivers unique memory-making therapies and direct support that no other acute bereavement service in Staffordshire provides.
