When your family experiences a significant loss or bereavement you want to know that your children are getting the help they need. You may not know where to turn. What do they need? What should I say? What should I do? Who can help us get through this emotional maze? Sunrise Partnership has the expertise, passion and tools to help you and your children.
Sunrise is a small, local charity working in Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire. We provide free, confidential support for children and young people up to age 18. There is no waiting list, support continues for as long as it is required and we travel to meet the child or young person in a setting they feel comfortable in. All our support staff are qualified and experienced in loss work and have PVG membership.

Meeting with you makes it much easier to get to school and cope with everything.
I don’t think I’m being judged by people and can cope with criticism. I can work out how to cope with situations and see the positives. I feel more positive.

Sunrise staff work with families and children with nurturing compassion.
That our families are treated well and have their needs understood and met in a caring manner is so important – I trust Sunrise to do just this. They offer support that helps our youngsters to begin to make sense of what has happened in their young lives. A vital service that offers quality support to those pupils in need.

I’ve seen a huge change in my son, he is less angry, less difficult and happier all round.
It’s as though a huge weight has been lifted off his shoulders. He smiles now instead of being lost.”
Mum of an 8 year old whose dad died
