Snuggles and Smiles are for children who have experienced the death of a parent or sibling and can take place at Sidley House.

Families come together with other bereaved families in group work sessions or 1.1 sessions to create a beautiful bear with the hope that the bear will provide comfort to them during difficult times. Children are invited to place precious keepsakes or photographs into their snuggle bear followed by a beautiful child friendly heart memorial. These sessions are funded by Once Upon a Smile and include lunch and soft play.

It currently costs £10 per child to create their own bear and with your help we can ensure that every child has a friend to snuggle!
