On Friday 21st October, the children of SVPS will be invited to Wear Wellies for Winston, to fundraise for Winston's Wish, a charity supporting bereaved children, young people, their families and the professionals who support them. SVPS families & friends are invited to make a donation to support this wonderful cause.

Why wellies?

Unlike adults, who tend to stay with their grief, children often jump in and out of their grief. We describe this journey as ‘puddle jumping’. This means that they may initially be upset about their loss but may then appear to be fine for a period of time and then become upset again, and so on. This can be very confusing for both children and the adults who care for them.

Conversations can allow children to express their emotions; be it sadness, anger, joy or fear. By opening up these important conversations about death we can allow children who are grieving to ‘puddle jump’ while understanding their mixed emotions.
