Our Mission Statement
Simon Says is a charity which supports children and young adults up to the age of 18 within Hampshire, who have a close relative or friend who has died or is dying. Simon Says helps children to understand what has happened and to help them re-build their lives through appropriate support and information.
Monthly support groups give bereaved children the opportunity to meet others in the same situation as themselves, to play and do craft projects and to have the opportunity to talk with trained volunteers, where they are helped to explore those emotions that are a result of their grief and loss.
Simon Says helps them to help themselves
