Your role in the organisation

This project is open to CBN member organisations in the voluntary sector. Please confirm your organisation's status.

Is your organisation a voluntary sector organisation?

This project has a particular focus on bereaved young people aged 11-25. Please briefly describe your typical service offer to this age group. The elements we are interested in include

How you assess bereaved young people’s needs
The typical number of 1:1 support sessions
Who supports the young person in these sessions (volunteer/paid; trained/professionally qualified)
If you offer support in a closed peer group, and average number of sessions
Social/remembrance events
Liaison with school etc

Don’t worry if you don’t do all these things – this wouldn’t disqualify your service from taking part.

Please briefly describe your typical service offer to this age group.

Please outline any restrictions on which young people you work with (e.g. we only work with those bereaved following an expected death; we only work with siblings).

Approximately how many 11-25 year olds did you support last year through 1:1 and/or group bereavement support?

Your current evaluation practice

What if any questionnaires do you use to collect information about the difference your service makes to young people? Please tick all that apply:

About taking part in this project

Please tell us why you would like to take part in the project

Have you got the necessary approvals from senior staff and/or trustees to take part in this project?

YesNot yetWe'd like to apply but have some outstanding queries (please describe below)

Any outstanding queries from your service

We will need participating services to begin and complete work with a minimum number of new young people aged 11-25 over the course of 12 months. That means completing assessment questionnaires, working with the young person and completing post-support questionnaires within a month of support ending. The 12 months can start between January and April 2025.

We need a minimum number to make sure that our national aggregated database is big enough. However, until we have an overall picture of which services have come forward, we don't know what the minimum number per service will be. We may need to prioritise services that can commit to supporting at least 50 young people, but please consider putting in this EOI even if your minimum number of young people is lower than this.

What is the minimum number of young people aged 11-25 you can commit to supporting through your service within the 12 month period?

Do you already have arrangements in place that allow you to anonymise data on the young people you work with and share it for the purposes of research?

YesNoNot sure

Please tell us anything else that you think it would be helpful for us to know

Thank you so much for your interest in joining the project. Please click 'Submit' below to send us your application by 5pm on Thursday 31st October.

We will be back in touch in early November to let you know the outcome.
