Slide Away’s Vision

Our vision is for all children in Kent to have access to a bereavement support service, which acknowledges their grief and experience of loss following the death of a close relative or friend.

Slide Away offers a bereavement support service to children and young people in West Kent...

Slide Away is not a counselling service, but offers young people the opportunity to manage their grief through a range of creative activities.

"Grief is a life long journey with ups and downs, children may need support at any point along the way."

Vacancies

Slide Away is looking for volunteers/workshop assistants to work with us at our therapeutic workshops. Slide Away will be offering six workshops in the next academic year, of which you may be expected to support three or four, from 8.30am to 3.30pm on a Tuesday and from 8.30am to 4.30pm on Wednesday. You will also need to be available for a clinical supervision session, usually held on the Monday evening following the workshop. Ideally, you will have an educational background or have worked with children in the past, but all applications will be considered and are subject to a full DBS disclosure. If you would like further details about working with Slide Away, please email Sharon Clancey at thefranklins1@live.co.uk.

We are also looking for volunteers to arrange fundraising events for Slide Away, such as quiz nights.  If you would be interested in helping, please contact Sharon, details above.
