Guy's Gift (Warwickshire)

Free

Guy's Gift is a specialist local charity created to provide bereavement support to children and young people when someone close to them dies. The service bridges the gap between a devastating family loss and the specialized tools a child needs to process complex, overwhelming grief. The organization focuses on early intervention to prevent grief from escalating into long-term behavioral, academic, or severe psychological struggles. They deliver a highly tailored mix of services, predominantly through peer-led group support sessions where young people can bond with others facing identical trauma. When needed, they provide one-to-one counseling and therapy sessions (frequently hosted in the comfort and familiarity of the child's own school). Additionally, Guy's Gift supports parents, guardians, and school staff by offering dedicated advice, drop-in guidance sessions, and resource kits to ensure the child has an open, communicating support network at home and in the classroom.
