Speaker Meeting with Partners
Tue, Jul 30th 2019 at 7:30 pm - 11:00 pm
Our Speaker this evening is from the charity Guy’s Gift which is the President’s chosen charity for the year.
We’re looking forward to welcoming Leamington Bear, and his guardian, to the Meeting this evening!
Guy’s Gift delivers bereavement support for children and young people throughout Coventry and Warwickshire. Our early intervention service is open to 5 to 25 year olds and tackles a range of emotional concerns, preventing them from escalating and also helping individuals to achieve their potential and continue their lives in a meaningful way.
The charity was founded by Jackie and Stuart Potter (right, with our mascot, Leamington Bear), who have personal experience of the impact of
childhood bereavement on the family unit.
Since the start of our work, in 2009, we have gone from being a pilot scheme, to a fully fledged bereavement service, helping hundreds of children and young people, and their families, across the county.
Our aim is to help children and young people through the grieving process in a safe, supportive and educational environment by increasing a child’s knowledge and understanding of death; increasing awareness and understanding of the grieving process; providing strategies for coping, and promoting open communication within the family and with peers.
Our small, professional team of 4 includes 3 counsellors, who are helped by more than 20 trained volunteers. We draw on a range of specialist skills to provide support options to help children, young people and their families.
