A cushion of love

We at HALO can create a cushion of love out of a loved ones clothing. We have a wonderful volunteer available this month to dedicate to this. If we can provide your child with one that they can cuddle please let us know. [email protected]

Thank you National Lottery Players for Making Memories Project

Halo

Thank you National Lottery players for your support, because of you we are able to support bereaved children with their own personalised memory box to keep loved ones items safe. Sophie’s mum shared with us- she loves her box and its helpful to have something to keep her sisters items in to remind her of […]

We at HALO aim to provide advice, information and hope to those dealing with the loss of a loved one.

We hold a monthly group of expressive arts and play on a Saturday, where children can mix, play and develop in a safe and stimulating environment amoungst others going through similar loss and grief.

HALO aims to provide relief from the effects of bereavement to children up to 18 years old who have suffered the loss of someone close to them, this could include, a parent, grandparent, sibling or even a close friend who is now missing from their life.

The charity knows that it can never make up for the loss of a love one but it hopes to be able to help children smile again and hold on to memories they have.
