These sessions give young members the chance to build friendships, grow in confidence, and have fun, while their parents and carers also find support.
Bolton mum, Katie, who has been travelling with her son Josh to Liverpool for support for quite some time, said
“We’ve been lucky enough to travel to Liverpool, but having Alfie’s Squad here in Bolton means more families won’t have to struggle alone. My son enjoys fun activities with others who understand, and I’ve found my own support with other parents. I’m looking forward to help others like us settle into the new Hub, but we’ll still make the occasional trip to Liverpool to see the friends we’ve been lucky to make.”
If your family, or a family you’re working with, has lost a loved one to suicide, you can find out more and make a referral to Alfie’s Squad
