Holding On Letting Go

Holding On Letting Go is a Kent-based charity that helps children to cope with the death of someone close to them. Often the children we see have lost their mum, dad, grandparents, a sibling or a friend. Sometimes more than one person in their family has died or there are sudden and traumatic circumstances surrounding the death, such as suicide, a road accident or murder. Since the adults around them are also grieving, these children often feel unable to express their feelings or talk about their loved one or their sadness. Many adults don’t know how to support children through the grieving process, so we give support and guidance to parents and carers too.
