All staff at The Donkey Den Support Services have completed grief support training and have experience of working with children who have encountered a loss. We combine our grief support work with Equine Facilitated Learning and Forest School activities. Staff have also completed terminal illness training so we can support a child or young person when someone important to them is going to die.

​

We have all experienced a significant loss in our lives and each have our own unique story. We feel grief is still an area in society that most people feel uncomfortable to approach.

 

We want to help change this.

 

We are passionate about providing grief support for children and young people, enabling them to have their own narrative and process their loss at their own pace. 

 

All people experience grief differently. We are very sensitive and respectful of this; working closely with the child, family members/carers and professionals to tailor the balance and sessions right for the individual. 

​

We offer services to children and adults, so even if you are just wanting 'space' to feel and grieve a loss PLEASE reach out. Come and spend some time with our donkeys, surrounded by nature, and 'just be'.
