A new chapter for Dr Shelley Gilbert

Shelley founded The Children’s Grief Charity in 2004, leading it to become one of the UK’s foremost not-for-profits for bereaved children, young people and families. Her title going forward will be ‘Lifetime President and Founder’.

It is with no doubt that her legacy will be carried through The Children’s Grief Charity’s incredible work.

Dr Gilbert says, “The Children’s Grief Charity’s growth coincides with the right time for me personally to change my working patterns and focus more on my family and other interests. I will remain available for consultancy, guidance and help if needed. I am so proud to leave behind the most incredibly sound organisation, as one of the UK’s leading bereaved child, young people and family charities. Having not only raised millions of pounds, but changed the lives of so many grieving children, I leave the charity firmly rooted in the family values of empathy, kindness and compassionate caring. With such strong foundations, I feel reassured that I will see the charity grow from strength to strength. The Children’s Grief Charity is, and always will be, in my heart.”
