Welcome to The Never Alone Project

We are Northamptonshire’s leading bereavement charity, dedicated to helping people through grief.

No one should face grief alone—we are here to help.

Our Mission

We stand together as a community to reduce isolation, build resilience, and provide essential life skills that support mental well-being. 

Through expert-led support and peer connections, we ensure that children, young people, adults, and organisations have the guidance and resources they need to navigate grief.

Our Vision

To positively impact the todays and tomorrows of those who are grieving.

Our Values

  • Compassion – We meet grief with kindness, understanding, and care.
  • Inclusivity – Support should be accessible to everyone, no matter their background.
  • Respect – Every grief journey is unique, and we honour each individual’s experience.
  • Service – We are committed to developing and delivering a heart led service.

Why We Do What We Do

Grief is a lifelong journey, but no one should have to walk it alone. The reality of childhood bereavement in the UK is staggering:

  • 1 in 29 children (ages 5–16) has lost a parent or sibling.
  • Every 20 minutes, a parent dies in the UK, leaving 127 newly bereaved children each day. (Childhood Bereavement Network, 2022)
  • The death of a parent is considered an Adverse Childhood Experience (ACE), which can have long-term emotional and psychological effects.
  • Through early intervention, tailored support, and a strong community, we help our community build resilience, heal, and thrive.

"Jack said when emotions are hard he feels happy when he is part of the events. For me TNAP is a place I have been able to turn to when it’s hard to process your emotions and also help your child through their grief journey. An invaluable and knowledgeable support who allow you to be human."

TNAP has been working with several of my Year 8 students over the last 2 years and they have been INCREDIBLE! The team are such lovely and approachable people
The progress students have made emotionally has been huge and it has been really lovely to see the impact TNAP has made when students have been in a very vulnerable state.
