What will you be doing?
We are a children's bereavement support charity called Holding On Letting Go. You would be placed to work alongside a bereaved child aged 6-17 years and give them coping strategies for their grief (training will be provided). We hold bereavement support days to children and their parent/carers. We ask all new volunteers to commit to at least 4 days a year. Our weekends are held in Kent. We pay mileage, provide free training and provide food and refreshments.
What are we looking for?
We ask volunteers to have a working background of either working with children, counselling, bereavement, teaching or nursing skills.
What difference will you make?
You will see the difference you make to a child from how they are when they enter the building on arrival (which can be quiet, anxious and hesitant) to how they are when they leave at the end of the day which is usually happy, talking about their special person who died and asking if they can come back again!
Anything else...
You must commit to at least 4 days a year. Hours on a Saturday would be 8.30am-4.30pm. Hours on a Sunday would be 8.30-4.30
