Our team have a wide range of experience, skills and knowledge around bereavement and loss and are dedicated to supporting the families that need us. We are complemented by our hugely valued group of volunteers and Board of Trustees.
We all work together in many different roles to ensure that the charity provides a passionate and professional service for families across the region.
The Children’s Bereavement Centre is run by a team of friendly, supportive and professional people who are committed to helping children with their grieving process, whether that’s been bought on by death or the terminal illness diagnosis of someone close.
The Centre is open to children aged between 3 and 18 and offers a welcoming and safe environment for them and their families to receive the help and guidance they need.
Our team is made up of our staff, volunteers, our trustees, our ambassadors and our patron.
