Living On was started in 2016 because it was clear to the founding trustees there was insufficient local support for bereaved families. Much more needed to be done to help children cope with their grief, minimise the damage that could occur in their formative years, help them form positive relationships and support them to reach their full potential.
Living On offers young people, children and their families an opportunity to acknowledge their grief and find ways to cope and carry it with them into adulthood, in a way that is not overwhelming or a lonely experience.
Living On is a small, local charity but with a big heart that is dedicated to its community. We have three highly skilled and professional Family Support Workers who are supported by a team of committed, experienced volunteers overseen by eight dedicated and passionate Trustees.
