Get Support

Although it is a natural part of life the loss of someone close can be a distressing and overwhelming experience, especially for children and young people.

Our core services are free, but as a registered charity donations are always welcome. Our services are available to children and young people aged 3-18 and their close family members regardless of race, class, sexual orientation, disability and special needs.

We support children and young people who have lost someone close to them, or who are pre-bereaved and have someone in their life with a terminal diagnosis of less than a year.
