At Wiltshire Treehouse we support children & young people who have been affected by the death of someone important to them.
You may be looking at our site because you are worried about a child or young person you know. Or perhaps you are a child or young person who has experienced the death of someone very close to you.
Either way, you are not alone.
We can help.
How can we help?
Our services are free of charge to families living or attending school within Swindon and Wiltshire.
We can provide:
-
Telephone advice and support to parents, helping adults to understand their child and how to best support them
-
Direct work with children and young people affected by bereavement through our specialist group work programmes. We have programmes in Wiltshire and Swindon
-
Advice and training for professionals, helping schools and other organisations to support the bereaved children they work with
-
Referrals for more specialised help

Sadly we cannot provide:
- immediate help to people in crisis
- help before someone has died, for example if someone has received a terminal diagnosis
- 1 to 1 work with children and young people. However, we may be able to offer 1 to 1 help in very exceptional circumstances
