Child Bereavement Charity Relaunches Monthly Lottery
Rochester-based charity Holding On Letting Go has re-launched its monthly lottery and is inviting businesses and individuals to take part.
The charity supports children across Kent who are facing an imminent bereavement or who are grieving.
Sometimes, a death is expected, through illness or injury, for example, and at other times, it is more sudden, after an accident, suicide or traumatic death.
Their therapeutic support, based in play therapy and creative activities, helps them and their families to explore their thoughts, feelings and emotions. Their parents/carers are also supported, to help the whole family.
Support is given at bereavement support weekends, home visits, in phone calls and video calls, with art resource packs sent to children as part of the therapy.
All of the charity’s services are free to the children and families supported and referrals can be made by families themselves, or someone on their behalf with permission – a friend, relative or health professional.
The charity also works in schools if a death has affected the children.
Tickets for the lottery are £5 each and the monthly prize is currently £100 – with plans to offer more as the lottery grows.
Not only could players pocket a cash prize, but their support will create a regular donation to the charity.
Tickets could be bought for staff or clients, gifted on special occasions, or given out at events.
