When time has passed, we're right beside you.
Our mission is to support people who have lost someone who died young by helping them feel remembered and thought of after time has passed. Through a thoughtful gift nominated by a loved one, gentle encouragement to reach out, and a compassionate community of likeminded people, we want to ensure no one feels alone in their grief.
Together, we can help bereaved people to feel loved and supported beyond those first milestones.
Our Services
At Right Beside Me, we support people who have lost someone who died young, helping them feel remembered and cared for after the first year of their grief — a time when loneliness can often feel overwhelming.
Through our website, loved ones can nominate someone to receive a free memorial gift or experience, thoughtfully prepared with a card explaining who it’s from. Alongside the gift, we invite recipients to join our community of bereaved people, where they can connect with others who understand their experience, chat online, and attend events if they wish. Our aim is to remind them that they are still thought of and loved, to encourage them to reach out to their support network, and to offer something meaningful they can cherish forever.
By showing care and connection during this often isolating stage, we hope to ease the sense of ‘life moving on without their person’ and help people feel supported.
Gift Choices
If you have someone in mind and would like to show them you are thinking of them, we will work with local companies to create a thoughtful memorial gift or organise an experience for the loved one you have nominated free of charge.
Tea And Chat
Why not join our local monthly chit-chat group. It can be hard to talk to people who don't always understand the complexity of grief. Our informal drop in sessions may be just what you're after and they're open to anyone who is grieving, not just those nominated for a gift.
Donate
To continue our work, we rely on the kind donations of our supporters. If you’re able to support us, whether as a one-off or a regular contribution, every donation truly helps. You might also choose to support us by organising a fundraising event or partnering with us as a business. If you’d like to get involved, we’d love to hear from you.

“Thank you so much for the beautiful gift, it meant the world to us to receive this and to know that we are still being thought of after all this time.”
Our Story
Right Beside Me was created in memory of Nathan Michael Ashworth, who died aged 27. We honour Nathan by helping people grieving a young loss feel remembered and supported after those initial milestones. Through memorial gifts, cathartic experiences, or wholesome activities, we aim to give grieving people something to remember their loved one by, or a way to connect with their loved ones during a difficult and often lonely time.
