Originally opened by the bereavement charity COPE, The Laura Centre offers specialist bereavement counselling to parents who've lost a child and crucially to children or young people who have been bereaved of a parent or significant person.

Gail and Harry Moore founded COPE in 1988. They worked tirelessly raising funds and awareness for families dealing with children with cancer.

Following the sad death of their daughter Laura from Leukaemia, Gail and Harry realised there was an acute lack of support for families bereaved of a child.

This led to them opening The Laura Centre in October 1991 to provide therapeutic support to anyone bereaved of a child or young person. Then, in 1994 they extended their counselling to include support for children bereaved of a parent or carer.

Based in Leicester, The Laura Centre has received funding grants from Children in Need which has enabled them to provide these much needed support services.
