Support for Children
affected by the death,
divorce or separation
of someone close

Sue Tomlinson
Founder/Co-ordinator

Sue Tomlinson established the charity in May 2002 following her work as Care Manager at a local hospice where sadly young patients with families passed away. She recognised the lack of services available for children who had suffered a bereavement or loss (divorce, separation, imprisonment of care) of a close family member, and so set up the centre to give help and support to children who desperately need it.

Sue’s Place is unique, it is a special place where children and their families can go to find the support and guidance they need to face the future.

Although it is a natural part of life, the death, divorce or separation of someone close can be a distressing and overwhelming experience for anyone. Children experience the pain of loss and separation just as much as adults. Their reactions depend on their age, maturity and understanding of events.
