Welcome to

Living On Bereavement Service

Living On are a children’s bereavement charity based in Orpington who are here to help and support children, young people and their families when someone they love has died.

We are here to help you and your loved ones…

Living On Bereavement Service offer a bespoke service as no child/family grieves the same, therefore they cannot be offered the same intervention.

We tailor our services to meet the needs of the child, these needs can change over time as the child gets older or the family changes. This support ranges from one to one therapeutic support, Dramatherapy groups, family therapeutic groups, advice and guidance to parents/carer and professionals working with the child and we host social events where we bring bereaved families together in a safe and welcoming environment.

Our door is open to any child under 18 who has been bereaved and lives in Orpington and surrounding areas.
