I’m working with young people age 11-16 who have been effected by the death of a very close family member by cancer or another life limiting illness .

We facilitate peer support groups across the region to help young people living with bereavement not only receive support but give it to others .

This reduces feelings of isolation but also let’s them know they are not alone .

We do super cool activities such as residentials , swimming ,  singing etc but I’m specifically raising funds to allow these young people to learn to bake and cook . So these funds will be for cooking equipment. We have a lovely new kitchen but are missing vital white goods , specialised equipment and electrical items such as blenders but also lacking basic equipment such as knives and boards . 

Our young people are cooking crazy so we’d love to be able to support them more ! 

The refresh support group enables young people to grow with grief and not be held back by it.

CancerCare is a local cancer and bereavement charity that helps people discover their capacity for life when times are tough - with the professional help, emotional support and collective strength to face whatever's next.
