Simon Says

Simon Says knows that the death of someone important can have a devastating effect on a child or young person.

Given appropriate support and information, children and young people can be supported to understand what has happened and move forward to rebuilding their lives.

Whether the death was sudden, or expected, the charity works closely in practical and creative ways with children and young people to create an atmosphere in which grief can be shared and normalised.
