retreats

Every year we offer a residential weekend, one night away from it all where we enjoy exciting outbound activities as well as therapeutic groups. The residential is a way for families to enjoy the outdoors, meet other families and spend time together.

• Meet other bereaved families
• Join a variety of therapeutically themed, or fun, social activities
• Talk with Grief Encounter staff and volunteers
• Children and adolescents can take part in a wide range of creative and outdoor activities
• Support other parents and carers through friendship and peer-support

The weekend is intended as a break from everyday routines and you are free to be as involved as you feel comfortable with whilst we take care of accommodation, food and travel.
