About Daisy's Dream

Daisy's Dream is a small charity, based in Berkshire, which supports children and young people who are facing, or have experienced, the death of someone close.

Their team of eight part-time, professionally qualified Therapeutic Practitioners offer over the phone support to parents, carers and professionals working with bereaved children. They also provide 1:1 sessions to children and young people who they feel would benefit from additional support, together with group therapeutic events which help to breakdown the sense of isolation often felt by families affected by bereavement. All of their work is provided completely free of charge.

Daisy's Dream believe that no child's future should be defined by a death or life-limiting illness in the family. Their valuable service offers the time and support needed by families to learn to cope with the changing dynamics of their life, and ultimately move forwards in a positive way.

It costs around £440,000 to provide their valuable work each year. Daisy's Dream receive no statutory funding and, as such, rely on the support of their communities and team of volunteers to raise the necessary funds.
