What We Do

Child Bereavement Support Group for children - Age 5 to 11

We provide a safe, supported and friendly environment for children and their parent/guardians, to meet others, who are in the same situation. They can give and receive their support though their bereavement from others in the group.

Children from the ages of 5-11 can attend with a parent or guardian.

The support programme is tailored around the needs of the group in a friendly and informal atmosphere.

A typical session may run as followed:

  • Arrival, welcome introductions
  • Organised fun, varied activities which could include games, craftwork, colouring, drawing, face painting and puppets.
  • There are refreshments available, which gives the adults a chance to talk about how they feel their children are coping.
