Here at Edward’s Trust we offer a holistic approach to supporting people through bereavement and loss. We offer counselling (1 to 1 or as a couple) support groups, play therapy, wellbeing therapies and social events. We are also able to offer resources and training for those wanting to support people in their grief journey. We offer support to:

• Parents bereaved, or about to be bereaved, of their son or daughter – whatever the age of their child or cause of death.

• Children and young people aged between 4 – 24 years who are bereaved, or are about to be bereaved, of a parent, grandparent, significant carer, sibling or friend. The age at time of enquiry will determine whether a service can be provided.

• Bereaved parents/carers of a child or young person who is currently accessing support through Edward’s Trust and who also require support with their grief.

We also offer, advice, support, information and training to professionals working with bereaved families. 

As Covid restrictions are eased, we are continuing to follow on-going government guideline updates relating to Covid19. Edward’s Trust are now offering face to face support again. We are also continuing to offer telephone support for our counselling and wellbeing services during this period.
