Amid the music and revellry of this year's Glastonbury Festival which starts on 20th June will be a powerful video short about a unique children's bereavement charity.

The video for Winston's Wish tracks the stories of two young guys, both of whom lost their fathers when they were eight.

It highlights how hard it is for any child to 'just get over' such a life-changing event, and how, with the support and services provided by Winston's Wish, bereaved children can grow to become happy and resilient adults.

Watch the video here, or on the Channel.

A child is bereaved of a parent every 30 minutes.  So Winston's Wish is there to provide the support needed by bereaved children and young people up to the age of 18 in practical and creative ways.  The child-focused approach supports the whole family and in its first two years, the charity's Helpline supported 16,000 children and young people across the UK.
