We offer bereavement support to children and young people up to the age of 17 who have had a loved one cared for by the hospice. Support can either be individually or as a family group, depending on the age of the child / young person. However, children under five will be supported via their parent / guardian or within their family unit and not individually.
If you would like to refer your child or your family as a group please contact SinglePoint on 01206 890360. Young people can refer themselves if competent to do so.
Due to the demand on our service it is taking us an average of 2-3 weeks to respond to referrals. If your referral is urgent please contact us on 01206 848163; alternatively if you are concerned about your child please contact your family doctor.
Without the help and generosity of our fundraisers and donors we wouldn't be able to offer our Bereavement Support to the local children and families who need it. We offer a number of ways that people can donate in memory of a loved one to help us to continue this support.
Keeping in touch when you can't be with someone who is so ill that they might die leaflet
