Welsh Government- Bereavement Support Grant

Sandy Bear have been fortunate enough to have been one of the successful recipients of the Wales-wide Bereavement Support Grants which have been funded by Welsh Government.

This grant supports some of our work and will specifically contribute to our ongoing support to children, young people and families in the lead up to and following a bereavement within Carmarthenshire, Ceredigion and Pembrokeshire. Whilst this funding really supports us achieve our mission that no child in Wales should grieve alone, we will still have to seek additional resources to fully fund our services across West Wales and the whole country.

We know we need to increase our direct support for children and families, we need to educate more people through our training sessions to be better able to support those who have been bereaved, and there is still much work to do to advocate for the bereavement sector and improve access to timely and relevant support when and where it is most needed.

We already work closely with the public, private and voluntary sectors through collaborations, partnerships and joint initiatives, but always keen to work with others to fill the gaps in provision. If you think that you might be a part of a shared solution, then please do get in touch with the Sandy Bear team for a discussion.
