Covid ’19 March 2021 Update
In line with current Scottish Government guidelines for the re-opening of schools, it is likely that all school children will return to some form of in school learning after the Easter holidays . Our staff teams in Edinburgh and Glasgow are continuing online support, but are also working hard to recommence our face-to-face bereavement support service. If you are currently receiving online support, your Bereavement Support Worker will explain the next steps to change back to face-to-face support.
If you are currently on our waiting list, you do not need to contact us as we will be in touch as soon as we can to discuss your support needs and a date for your bereavement assessment. In the meantime, if you need advice, please call, email or click ‘Contact Us’ on the website to complete the online form and we will respond as soon as possible.
From all of us at Richmond’s Hope, stay safe and thank you for your patience.

There are a variety of ways in which you can support or donate money to Richmond’s Hope.
Who we are
Richmond’s Hope provides support for children and young people aged 4-18 years who have been bereaved. The charity provides a safe space for children to work through their grief both verbally and non verbally, to preserve memories of the person who has died, to explore their feelings, to develop coping strategies and to understand the impact the bereavement has had on their lives.
As everyone’s grief is different, we provide individual programmes of care for each child. Our dedicated team of bereavement workers support children on a one to one basis.
We are also passionate about educating individuals and groups about the language surrounding grief and offer training and interest visits. The training we offer to external organisations aims to raise awareness of young people’s grief and how it affects their lives.
How can we help
When someone contacts us we will listen over the phone and fill out a referral form. Then we will arrange to meet with you and your child at home or at our playrooms to find out if it would be beneficial for your child to come to Richmond’s Hope.
It’s important that children want to come to the charity and we will do everything we can to make them feel welcome.
We provide individual support on a weekly basis. During the sessions we’ll explore memories, talk about feelings and help develop coping strategies using therapeutic play and specialised grief activities to help individuals understand how a death has impacted upon their lives.
