Saying Goodbye Project

The Saying Goodbye Project is part of Kingston Bereavement Service, a registered charity based in Surrey which offers a support and counselling service for adults.

The project supports children and young people who have been bereaved of someone close and who live or study in the borough of Kingston upon Thames.

We are able to offer the following services:

  • One to one bereavement counselling and support for children and young people
  • Information and advice for children and young people, their parents and carers
  • Information, advice and consultancy for teachers, social workers, health service staff, and other professional and social groups who work with children and young people.
