DSSR Regional Director, Matthew Day presenting a cheque for £1000.00 to Clare Schmidt,  Director of Client Services at Just ‘B’ and Emma Parker,  Just ‘B’ Project Manager.

As part of our commitment to supporting local charities, we are delighted to support Just ‘B’,  a Harrogate-based specialist bereavement support and emotional wellbeing service helping children, young people, and adults across the communities of North Yorkshire.

Our £1000.00 donation will help more young people process their grief and any trauma they may have experienced. The donation will enable them to deliver 20 hours of one-to-one bereavement support sessions for children and young people. It costs around £50 to run one hour of bereavement support and on average a child has between 6-8 sessions.

However, Just ‘B’ doesn’t limit the number of sessions a young person may need as each child and their experiences are different. For some, they need a safe space to talk and play and for others, they need multiple sessions, time to process, engage in play activities and therapeutic talking. Therefore, DSSR can help more young people process their grief and any trauma they may have experienced.


“We really appreciate DSSR’s generosity, £1000.00 will make a huge difference to the young people we support.”
