BCSY works tirelessly across the York area to provide necessary support to children going through the profound impact of losing a parent, sibling or another significant person in their lives. The charity aims to provide support to bereaved children, young people and their families, living in the York area, so that they feel better able to cope with the impact of grief on their lives.
The charity currently offers monthly drop-in sessions for bereaved children to come together and meet others with a similar shared experience with a focus on play and creativity. Plus, one to one therapeutic support is available through BCSY which is provided by experienced children’s bereavement practitioners to those who live within the City of York area. The charity also understands how difficult explaining grief to children can be, so it works to provide fantastic resources for adults and children to take away completely free of charge.
