Seahorse Project

Bereavement affects children and young people too. Find out how we can support you and them at this time

The Seahorse Project

We offer short-term bereavement-focused counselling support to any bereaved child in our catchment area (Seaford, Hailsham, Uckfield, Heathfield, Pevensey and Eastbourne).

When someone who is important to us dies, it can leave an empty space in our lives and it is natural to experience strong or mixed feelings. It can sometimes impact on our concentration when we are trying to study, affect our sleep, change the relationships we have with others and cause feelings that might be new to us.

Seahorse Stroll

Seahorse Stroll is a time for children and young people to come together to know that they are not alone in experiencing grief.

The experienced bereavement support team from the St Wilfrid's Hospice Seahorse Project team will run this event, in its new location of Princes Park.

Children will be able to play games, enjoy a picnic and paint pebbles in memory of loved ones, before having a chance to lay down their pebbles and remember that it is ok to miss their loved ones.
