All training events

All of our core training is currently delivered virtually online via Zoom by our experienced facilitators. Our online sessions are limited to 25 people to allow for discussion and interaction; these last for 3 hours. Our webinars are for much larger groups and last from 60 to 90 minutes; they have a Q&A function but are not interactive. Training courses are run regularly throughout the year and the cost for the 3-hour sessions is £45 per person. If you have a number of people requiring training, it may be more cost-effective to arrange a bespoke training session for your organisation, either online or face to face. You may also wish to book a bespoke training session so that content can be tailored to the specific needs of your team.

When a grandparent dies - the impact on children and young people

The death of a grandparent is often a child or young person’s first encounter with the death of someone important. Parents have a great deal to manage when their own parent or carer dies.
