Who We Are:

Sandy Bears Children’s Bereavement Charity’s purpose is to relieve the mental, emotional, spiritual and physical distress of children and young people suffering, or anticipating, a bereavement.

What We Do:

We provide a route to a healthy grieving process leading to the normalisation of grief, to avoid detrimental outcomes and allow for a happier, more fulfilled life. Bereavement impacts on every aspect of a young life. We enable children to know that they have a right to mourn regardless of their age, their relationship to the deceased, the nature of the death, the communication with the child, the environment, their cognitive abilities and their in-built resilience. If the right support is not provided, and grief is left unresolved, the child’s health can be compromised which can cause poor mental health and educational outcomes, and risky behaviours.
We work closely with children, young people and their families, providing therapeutic, one-to-one and peer support to help them through their grief and provide them with the resilience skills they need throughout their grief journey.

Why We Need You:

Sandy Bear Children’s Bereavement Charity depends on a range of funding sources, including events held and participated by the public. Without the fantastic community support which we receive, we would not be able to deliver our service to hundreds of children, young people and their families.
