Information, advice and guidance to help support bereaved children and young people and those facing the death of a loved one. We support families across Surrey, West Sussex and surrounding areas.

WE ARE HERE FOR YOU

We are no longer living in lockdown however, with the ongoing uncertainty surrounding COVID-19, we are still in a period of anxiety for everyone, but especially for children and young people. Please know that Jigsaw (South East) is here and we will do our best to support all who need it and to answer any queries you may have.

Following updated Government guidance, some of our services are being delivered face-to-face outside, in a COVID-secure, socially distanced environment.  However, the rest of our services will continue to be delivered online and by telephone, email or text, until it is safe to do otherwise.
