Support for families bereaved in crashes - Brake, the road safety charity
Brake is a national road safety charity that works to prevent road deaths and injuries and support people bereaved and injured in crashes. We do this through awareness-raising initiatives such as Road Safety Week, providing road safety information and advice to schools, communities and organisations, and by providing free support resources to families affected by crashes.
Our support book for children has a very simple goal - to help children recover from the shattering experience of someone they love dying in a crash, and to help them develop into happy and balanced people. The book is provided free of charge to families affected by crashes.
Funding through a Community Grant would enable us to reprint this book and continue providing this free support to families.

Poll: Would you want an unconventional funeral?
Funerals can cost as much as $22,000 and the planning can be stressful especially at a time when loved ones are grieving. Some New Zealanders are re-imagining funerals by making their own coffin or having a relaxed ceremony at home. Would you want a less traditional funeral? Share your thoughts below.
