Mental Health Care - Salisbury, England, United Kingdom
6000 children pass away in the UK every year, leaving 6000 families feeling lost with very few places to turn. Unfortunately counselling waiting lists in some areas are up to 18 weeks. This is where Bluesky retreat can help. We can provide a safe, tranquil retreat for families who have lost a child under the age of 18. We can offer counselling, if required, by our trustees who have all completed Counselling courses to help the families through their darkest times.We will have a secret sensory garden, the ‘memory garden' the families can visit and tie a ribbon on our memory tree for their child as well as a stargazing treehouse, allotments and a communal area for families to meet and talk about their experience with others if they wish. We are unique in the fact we will be completely self-sustainable; our guests can do as little or as much as they feel they can manage. We will have raised planting areas they can plant bulbs/flowers in memory of their child so they can bloom in the spring/summertime. Gardening is very good for hearts and minds. We are set in the Wiltshire countryside offering many walking routes and plenty of sites to visit such as Stonehenge, Avebury circle and Salisbury Cathedral.Our son William was one of those statistics in 2016, at just ( years old and after a very brave fight, he lost his life to a brain tumour. We needed to get away somewhere and we looked for somewhere we could receive help and counselling but unfortunately there was nothing, this is where our idea for Bluesky Retreat was born.
