Daisy's Dream - Cheshire East (360G-CheshireCF-A598718)
Daisy's Dream support children and young people who have experienced a death or life limiting illness in the family - enabling them to move forwards in a positive way. Daisy's Dream East Cheshire - aims to continue the provision of its service in East Cheshire to ensure children and young people impacted by a bereavement or serious illness are able to get the support they need so that they are not defined by that experience. A grant will contribute to enabling the service to be extended to respond to an increase in demand for its service - especially as schools reopen and families come out of lockdown and need support. Funding will ensure that bereaved children in East Cheshire can get the help they need when they need it so that the rest of their life is not impeded and they can go on to fulfil their potential.

| Recipient Org: Description | Daisy's Dream, a registered charity, started in Berkshire and one of the Therapeutic Practitioners moved up to Cheshire East. She saw that there was a need for the service up here and persuaded the Trustees to support children, young people and their families in Cheshire East. We are a charity who provide a professional support service, free of charge, for children, young people and their families who have been affected by the life threatening illness or bereavement of someone close to them. It was originally set up to meet the needs of children who had been bereaved, over recent years we have expanded our service to encompass families where there has been a serious illness diagnosis. We offer a flexible service which is tailored to meet the individual needs of each child and their family. This may include telephone support and advice for parents/carers/professionals, group events, home and school visits for the chid or young person. The death or serious illness of someone close can have a devastating effect on a child or young person. With the right support and information however, children and young people can be helped to understand what has happened and learn to move it forward in a positive way. We believe that no child's future should be defined by a death or life-limiting illness within the family. Given time and support, we believe that children and young people can learn to cope with the changing dynamics of their life and ultimately move forwards in a positive way. Research shows that, without the opportunity to express and explore their grief bereaved children and young people maybe at risk of future health, social and educational difficulties and disadvantages. This is in addition to the impact of the bereavement on their emotional health and wellbeing. Our professionally qualified Therapeutic Practitioners enable children and young people to adapt to their changing situation by offering them the chance to access support and information which addresses their needs and concerns. |
