Make a big impact with a small, ambitious, innovative charity that transforms vulnerable young people’s lives when their world has been turned upside down.
Apart of Me stands with young people all over the world who experience loss, and have limited access to support services; we do that through our unique design-led approach to innovation.
Our journey began 10 years ago when our founder, Louis Weinstock, recognised an urgent need for accessible, early intervention support for grieving young people. Since then, Apart of Me has grown into a multi-award-winning charity, making a tangible difference in the lives of vulnerable young people.
Our first service, the therapeutic mobile game 'Apart of Me,' guides young people through grief, with over 125,000 users since its launch. It has won numerous awards, including NHS App of the Month, and has been proven to help users understand their feelings, and feel calmer and less alone.
