The Alder Centre
Established in 1989 by a small group of health care professionals in partnership with bereaved parents, the Alder Centre is a unique, national centre of excellence providing ‘care and education for anyone affected by the death of a child’. The Alder Centre is opposite the main Alder Road entrance to the Hospital, next to Ronald McDonald House.
The services that we provide to bereaved families include:
- Counselling – one to one, couple or family
- Support Groups for those affected by the loss of a child
- Volunteer Befriending, offered by bereaved parents
- The Child Death Helpline, staffed by volunteers and run in conjunction with Great Ormond Street Hospital
- Therapeutic Family Breaks
