The charity chosen by District Chairman, Rosemarie Barnes, is
'Holding On, Letting Go'
Bereavement support for children, young people and their families before or after a death of someone close.
HOLDING ON LETTING GO
Support for the whole family to cope with bereavement
A death might be someone outside of the family or close friendship circle. If a child is affected by a death in any way, we are here to support them and you, as much or as little as they need.
Sometimes, more than one person in their family has died or there are sudden and traumatic circumstances surrounding the death, such as suicide, a road accident or murder.
Our support helps the child through bereavement – whatever the circumstances.
Families themselves, their friends, or other professionals already involved, such as a teacher or GP.
Sometimes, a death is expected, through illness or injury, for example, and at other times, it is more sudden, after an accident, suicide or traumatic death.
We provide wide-ranging support, to children and young people aged up to 18.
