What You'll Do: 

We provide regular support groups and activity sessions for siblings to meet other brothers and sisters of children with life-limiting illnesses or those who have experienced bereavement. The service is hosted in a variety of settings including our Buddies hut in the grounds or trips off site. These take place in the School holidays with at least one activity taking place each school holiday. Volunteers would need to be available at these times. 

The groups are often divided between juniors (aged 5-11) and teens (12-18). For both groups it is an opportunity to have fun together and enjoy activities and outings.

Brothers and sisters of a child who uses or has used our services are eligible to receive sibling support from the Buddies group.
We require volunteers to come and assist at these activities, working alongside our buddies’ co-ordinator. Much of the role involves taking care of the needs of the children while they are at an event and also joining in and assisting with the activity.

Staff are always on had these events to provide any emotional support to any young people who may need this on the day. 

Core responsibilities
