Can you help us?
You might be clearing space for Christmas guests or for deliveries by the man himself & Rudolph on Christmas Eve.
If this includes sorting soft toys, crafts and activities that your children have outgrown please consider donating them to us.
We always need colouring pens and paper, small activity kits or games, reading books and graphic novels, notebooks and treats.
If you want to be sure we can use it please email info@phoenixbereavement.org
Your re-gifted items or donations can be left at our office at The Fred Bulmer Centre. Thank you.
We are here to help Herefordshire children, young people and families find their way forward when someone close to them dies
WELCOME
In mythology from around the world a Phoenix only appears when we are in need, its tail feather glows - lighting the darkness
Phoenix Bereavement Support
What we do
We support children, young people (5-21) and families within Herefordshire to cope with the death of someone close.
Children and Young People
We know how difficult it can be when someone close to you dies.
Family, peer group, and 1:1 support will help you understand what is happening and your responses. Longer term our support will help you come to terms with your loss and face the future with hope.
Parents and Carers
We offer support for parents and carers with children up to the age of 21.
Most often we work with families after sudden deaths - suicide, acute illness, accidents and murder - but also when the death was anticipated.
We will help you provide support to your children.
Our Safeguarding Policy
Support for Professionals
Our advice, guidance and training for professionals will increase understanding of bereavement, grief and its impact.
We equip teachers, health workers and others with the skills and knowledge to support bereaved children, young people and families.
Meet our Ambassadors
We have a team of young people aged 14+ who form our Youth Council. They have all experienced childhood bereavement and use their understanding and skills to help us support their peers.
