TRUSTEES’ REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2025
The Trustees present their Annual Report forthe year ended 30 June 2025 under the Charities Act 2011, the Companies Act 2006 and Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102), together with the independently examined financial statements for the year.
REFERENCE AND ADMINISTRATIVE INFORMATION
SeeSaw registered as a company limited by guarantee on 17th June 1999 and with the Charity Commission on 30 June 1999 as a charity (registered number 1076321). The names of all Trustees at the date of this report and of those in office during the year, together with details of the senior staff, advisers of SeeSaw and the principal office of the charity, are given on pages 3 and 4.
STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
Governing documents
The governing document is the Memorandum and Articles of Association.
Board of trustees
The board of trustees is constituted and regulated in accordance with the Governing Document. New members are elected on the basis of the skills needed to complement the trustee body, and their commitment to the charitable objectives of SeeSaw. The board of trustees determines the ongoing strategic direction of the Charity and regulates its administration and the management of its finances and assets. It meets regularly and is advised by three subgroups.
Recruitment and training of trustees
New trustees are recruited by advertisement, two external references and interview with the board. They are inducted into the workings of SeeSaw, including trustee policies and procedures, by the Chair of Trustees.
Those with clinical responsibilities do not provide hands-on support, or have access to client data, and thus are notrequired to be DBS checked; however, SeeSaw has taken the decisionto require a DBS check forall Trustees as we are a children’s charity. Members of the board of trustees are expected to keep themselves up to date with current issues in the sector and on regulatory requirements.
Remuneration of trustees and staff
Members of the board of trustees receive no remuneration or benefits from their trusteeship of the charity. The remuneration of staff is set by the trustees on the advice of the remuneration committee and in accordance with SeeSaw's pay policy.

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT (continued...)
Organisational management
The members of the board of trustees meet four times a year. The work of developing and monitoring their policies is carried out by three sub-groups which meet between board meetings:
- Clinical Sub-Group — Chair: Marilyn Relf - Financial Sub-Group — Chair: Robert Kirtland - Fundraising Sub-Group — Chair: Kay Symons
The day-to-day running of the Charity is delegated to the Director, who attends all meetings of the sub-groups. None of the trustees have any beneficial interest in the company. All the trustees are members of the Company and guarantee to contribute a maximum of £10 each in the event of winding up.

-
The support of children and young people who have suffered or are about to suffer a bereavement
-
The promotion of study and research and the dissemination of the useful results of any such research in relation to the effects of such loss and into methods of supporting bereaved children and young people and the provision of training and education in relation to those effects and methods.
The board of trustees has considered the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit and in keeping with its objectives, SeeSaw's aims for the public benefit are:

SEESAW
TRUSTEES’ REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2025
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES (continued...)
In line with best practice in the sector, we recruit, train, select and supervise a team of volunteer support workers (VSWs) to provide individual work with children in their own homes.
Quality is maintained through regular monthly supervision and training sessions and annual reviews. All clinical staff and VSWs are subject to an enhanced DBS check and have regular safeguarding training.
- Raising awareness
We provide training to other professionals, especially staff working inschools, to enable them to support bereaved children in their care, thereby extending the reach of our expertise. We develop and provide publications and resources to support families, and other professionals. The clinical staff liaise with practitioners from other bereavement services serving Oxfordshire to share good practice and to ensure a wider awareness and promotion of children's needs and our service.
SeeSaw is a member of the Childhood Bereavement Network (CBN) in order to contribute to new developments and learn from colleagues nationally, and so remain at the forefront of good practice.
SeeSaw is also represented at:
-
Oxfordshire's Child Death Overview Panel
-
Joint Agency Review meetings responding to sudden deaths of those under 18
-
Thames Valley Suicide Prevention Multi Agency Group
Sustainability
We regularly review our strategy and planning to ensure our sustainability. We chose to manage our costs this year and deliver our services with a reduced capacity whilst we built our reserves back up. We are now in a position where we can invest in our staffing structure, increase our capacity and plan fora sustainable and effective organisation which will enable us to deliver the best service we can forbereaved children and young people in Oxfordshire.
- Cost-effective use of resources
We employ fundraisers who can use the most cost-effective approaches to raising the necessary funds at the same time as enhancing the profile and promoting the service of the charity in the community. We also involve volunteers where appropriate to support fundraising.
Criteria used for assessing success
-
Delivering a timely and responsive service to every family in Oxfordshire which needs it, whatever their background or location
-
Positive service evaluations using the Child Bereavement Service Questionnaire and client satisfaction surveys

SEESAW
TRUSTEES’ REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2025
-
Raising enough funds to cover the costs of delivering a timely, responsive and highly valued service
-
free at the point of delivery to all grieving children who need it.
-
income targets met in line with our current 3-year fundraising strategy
ACTIVITIES AND PERFORMANCE
We have continued to deliver a mixture of in person and online support this year as this model is popular. Our pre bereavement work, when a parent or caregiver has been diagnosed with a terminal illness, is consistently used year on year; demand this year has been similar to preceding years. Demand for our Early Support work, following a sudden unexpected death has grown significantly in the last 3 years and is nowa large part of the work our clinical team deliver. Early Support and Pre-bereavement work has to be delivered by our clinical staff team rather than by our Volunteer Support Workers (VSWs) and with the steady take up of our online resources we have had fewer cases forour VSWs to work on this year. This is an area we will be reviewing in 25-26 to ensure we utilise our volunteers’ skills and experience fully.
We introduced a new piece of work this year, with the support of Public Health Oxfordshire. As a member of the Oxfordshire Child Death Overview Panel, we identified that there was a gap in our service for support for young people whena friend has died suddenly. Our Peer Death group work, ‘Making sense of my grief’, is offered to schools when we are notified of asudden young person death. Since launch, we have delivered the group work in two schools with a total of 27 participants. Feedback from the young people and the schools has been very positive — all feeling they have benefitted from the support.
Summary of clinical statistics for 2024-25
Grief support in this period was delivered by four child and family practitioners, and 14 Volunteer Support Workers. In 2024-25 the SeeSaw team supported 462 children and young people from 323 families. Of those:
-
e 101 children and young people, from 63 families, benefitted from pre bereavement support, and 377 benefitted from bereavement support after a death. In the course of a year some children and young people will have been supported ‘. before and after a death’. 3% of the referrals we received were from young people referring themselves
-
e 166 children, from 111 families, were supported as part of our Early Support offer (immediate support following a terminal diagnosis or following a sudden unexpected death).
-
¢ 183 children received 1-1 support from our clinical team, including 43 directly supported by our Volunteer Support Workers.
-
e 51 children and young people from 42 families received our ‘Friends and Family’ resource package and 3 requested and additional follow up call.
-
e 465 were inappropriate referrals (out of county, over 18, not a bereavement or[terminal][diagnosis).]
We collect ethnicity data for children and young people to monitor reach and representation; however, people can choose ‘prefer not to say’ or not to answer at all. 64 people chose not to answer. We have focused this year on improving our accessibility and inclusion and were pleased to see that we had a much better response rate this year than in previous years. We use the UK census ethnicity categories to allow us to compare with census data for Oxfordshire. We collected data for 274 children and young people as follows:

Most recent population data for Oxfordshire estimates that 23% of the Oxfordshire population identify as being from a minority ethnic background.
We monitor our reach across the whole of Oxfordshire and of the 323 families we worked with they were split across the 5 district councils, roughly in proportion to their general populations: 9% were unrecorded. Cherwell: 23% Vale of White Horse: 20% South: 18% City:16% West: 14%
Volunteer Support Workers (VSWs)
This year we had a team of 14 volunteers providing face-to-face grief work across Oxfordshire. SeeSaw cannot offer the service it does without the time and dedication our VSWs give, and we are very grateful to them.
Working with schools and other professionals
Consultation with school staff and other professionals, often health and social care professionals, is alarge part of our work. We worked with 113 different schools and educational settings. Our clinical team provided 214 consultations with schools and 205 consultations with other professionals. This has been a significant increase in our work this year, driven in part by the increase in Early Support work and the new ‘Making sense of my grief’ group, as well as by the increase in demand for our schools’ training. Our remote training packages are popular

nnnnn LSS with schools and other professionals, often in preference to in-person training. This year we provided remote training for 77 school staff from primary, secondary, independent and special schools, as well as Early Years settings and 27 professionals. An increase on the preceding 3 years.
We also delivered 3 in person training and awareness sessions this year: as part of a joint piece of training for trainee paediatricians in partnership with CBUK, Helen and Douglas House and Oxfordshire Health. We delivered 2 training sessions in schools. We were asked to take part in a podcast on Anticipatory Grief with Kwell to raise awareness of this issue and had a very good response.
Service evaluation
We also use a satisfaction survey with brief outcomes reporting. Not all service users choose to complete the survey but those that did reported: 93% were very Satisfied with the service they received, 87% were very satisfied with the wait time for support, 100% reported the grief support as being very helpful and
100% would definitely recommend SeeSaw
-
Parents/carers report a range of outcomes as a result of support, the most common being: e had more ideas to help support my child e [understood my child’s grief better
-
e | noticed that my child and |[were][better][able][to][talk][about][what][was][happening]
-
e |noticed that my child and | were able to talk about how they felt e | felt more confident in supporting my child. e | felt | knew what to do and say next.
Children and Young People also report a range of outcomes:
- e | feel better able to understand my grief. e |feel more supported with my grief. e | feel better able to manage my grief. e |feel reassured about my grief. e =| feel listened to
Client feedback
The results of the standardised Child Bereavement Service questionnaire (CBSQ) provide us with feedback on progress which helps us to shape and develop our services. CBSQs are used for 1-1 grief support work with children and young people when some time has passed since the bereavement. CBSQ is nota suitable tool to measure pre bereavement work, parent support and early support work. As a much larger part of our work falls
10
SEESAW
TRUSTEES’ REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2025
into the latter categories, we collect a smaller sample of CBSQs. The questionnaire focuses on 3 areas of improvement: managing grief, getting on with life, and communication and relationships.
From the sample we collected this year we found that:
Overall, 87% of children and young people reported an improvement in the 3 areas. Of those
81% of young people (11-18) reported some improvement. (90% on their parents’ rating)
100% of children (5-11) improved when rated by parents.
The results show that most children and young people benefitted from SeeSaw’s input, in terms of managing their grief. All the parents of the younger children reported improvements, and 90% of the teenagers’ parents. There were high satisfaction levels with SeeSaw’s service overall, 100% of parents were satisfied with the service. A few children and young people said they would not recommend SeeSaw to a friend; however, the numbers in this sample are small, so the applicability of these should be viewed with caution, although they are in line with the previous year’s results.
We often receive unsolicited comments from families and professionals who have used our service and this year we have continued to receive very positive feedback. The service is very highly valued by its beneficiaries and professionals, and its reputation in the county remains very high.
As the CBSQs are not suitable tools to measure all of the types of work we do we have been piloting a new tool: Goal Based Outcomes measure. We are using this as an additional tool with children and young people to help them to identify the changes they would like the work to make and to measure their progress. Our intention is to increase children and young people’s sense of agency and make them active partners in their grief work journey. We take a score at the start of the support and again after support to measure improvements. 75% of participants improved by up to 4 points with an average improvement of 2.31 points. Most participants started with scores on the lower end (0-4) and at the end scores shifted toward the higher range (6-10), indicating solid progress towards their goals.
Fundraising success
SeeSaw continues to rely on donations for over 90% of its income, generated through grants, corporate partnerships, community initiatives and individual donations. We continue to develop, grow and diversify our income streams by investing in fundraising capacity and building strong relationships with our supporters.
We are grateful for the support of new and existing grant funders such as BBC Children in Need, Garfield Weston, National Lottery, and The Charity of Thomas Dawson. A significant and unexpected legacy gift this year has been transformative for SeeSaw, and we are deeply thankful.
To mark our 25th Anniversary, we held successful events including a golf day and canal walk, thanks to the generous involvement of everyone who participated.

TRUSTEES’ REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2025
ere ener eee ee ee We are continually inspired by the individuals and organisations across Oxfordshire who have demonstrated how much they value the service by donations of money or goods. Many people who have benefitted from our support go on to fundraise on our behalf, and we are appreciative of this ongoing connection.
All fundraising activity is managed in-house. We do not engage any third-party professional fundraisers
FINANCIAL REVIEW
The charity received total income of £629,457 during the year, including a legacy of £127,856. This compares to £475,848 received in 2023/24. The cost of generating funds was £109,592 (2024: £68,756). This was higher than the previous year due to the fundraising team being fully staffed this year, which has helped to generate the higher income level. £361,426 was spent on charitable purposes (2024: £345,201).
The surplus for the financial year was £158,439 (2024: £61,891). This was better than expected following a successful fundraising year including a large legacy. The surplus will help to sustain and develop our ongoing service.

Factors that are likely to affect financial position and performance going forward
Grant funding of £200,091 has been secured for 2025-26, remaining funds need to be generated through our ongoing fundraising activities.
12
SEESAW
TRUSTEES’ REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2025
We recognise that there continue to be financial pressures on the third sector and that commissioning bodies and grant makers share those pressures and are fielding much greater numbers of requests for funding. We are encouraged by the success of our fundraising outcomes this year.
RESERVES POLICY
SeeSaw’s policy is to maintain funds at a level which ensures it can continue to provide its service, meet all obligations to staff and other stakeholders and carry through its strategic plans. In view of SeeSaw’s dependence on its own fundraising efforts, and the cost of running the service, the Trustees consider that a target of nine months expenditure to be held in unrestricted funds is prudent.
Free reserves (unrestricted funds not tied up in fixed assets) at 30th June 2025 totalled £486,635 (2024: £322,693). £37,000 of these reserves have been designated for one-off capital projects including the commissioning of a new website. The remaining £449,648 represents approximately ten months of next year's budgeted expenditure. This is above the reserves target.
The Trustees ensure that the reserves are monitored and keep the reserves policy under regular review.
RISK MANAGEMENT
The Trustees and the Director evaluate and manage the principal risks and uncertainties faced by the charity on an ongoing basis. When the organisation is not able to address risk issues using internal resources, the trustees take advice from external experts with specialist knowledge, for example in the fields of Health & Safety, Human Resources, and Information Security.
Policies and procedures are reviewed by the Trustees. Training courses are made available, when appropriate, to trustees and members of staff to enhance their skills in risk-related areas.
The principal risks and uncertainties are as follows:
-
e The most significant clinical risk faced by SeeSaw is a negative impact on the quality of the service provided in light of increased demand. Demand for our service has returned to pre-pandemic levels. The increasing complexity of many cases and restricted availability of usual support networks and other professional health services available to families has compounded the pressures on the clinical service. The Director and the Clinical Subgroup keep this under constant review and ensure that complexity and caseload is effectively monitored and is managed in line with staff capacity. The development of a wide range of online and accessible resources has leveraged our capacity and mitigates risks. Our investment in a new Clinical staffing structure for 24-25, provides additional clinical capacity, and also includes the introduction of a Clinical Lead post, which mitigates this risk by giving additional and dedicated oversight of our day-to-day delivery and capacity.
-
e The service and organisation depend on the support, recruitment and retention of suitably qualified and experienced staff, volunteers and Director. The Trustees recognise that any departure of the Chair of Trustees and the Director is a significant risk for SeeSaw and good succession planning is needed to mitigate this. The successful appointment of a new Chair for 2025-26, and the introduction of a robust
13
SEESAW
TRUSTEES’ REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2025
-
"plan to support the transition, means the trustees recognise this is less of a risk to the organisation. A similar approach will be taken in the event of the Director's departure.
-
e Good supervision, and other forms of support and training, and annual appraisal procedures are in place, and trustees keep staff matters and succession planning under constant review. Maintaining the high reputation of SeeSaw both internally and externally is a key factor in the successful recruitment of staff;
-
e The Trustees recognise the risks around information security within an organisation that depends on electronic communication and holds personal data. SeeSaw's Information Security policy is reviewed regularly, and systems and procedures are updated in line with good practice and the latest legislation, and upon the advice of specialists.
-
e Financial risk is systemic in a charity that depends on voluntary donations. The trustees closely monitor all financial risks and review all budgeting and spending decisions to ensure financial prudence. Significant investment in our fundraising capacity has been a priority in 2024-25 and the trustees are confident that this risk has been addressed and mitigated with a new fundraising staffing structure.
FUTURE PLANS
SeeSaw’s future plans are agreed by the board of trustees and the agreed core elements are to:
-
e continue to provide a timely and responsive service for bereaved children in Oxfordshire which meets the needs of a growing and diverse population. _
-
e continue to provide support and consultancy for professionals in Oxfordshire who are working directly with bereaved young people.
-
e increase awareness of our service throughout Oxfordshire.
-
e ensure the sustainability of SeeSaw’s unique service provision in Oxfordshire through our fundraising, and to respond to the changing financial world and become a part of health and social care commissioning of services, whilst maintaining our independence and flexibility as a charity.Our ambition is to sustain our income and maintain our service capacity through our new fundraising strategy and investment in our clinical and fundraising teams.

2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of preparation of the financial statements
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicableto charities preparing accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard 102 Section 1A smaller entities, Financial Reporting Standard 102 Section 1A smaller entities 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland’ ("FRS 102"), the Companies Act 2006 and the Charities Act 2011.
The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the financial statements are as follows:
Going concern
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concem basis as the trustees believe that no material uncertainties exist.
The trustees note that the current economic challenges have impacted on SeeSaw's income generating activities over the past few years. However, the level of funds held, multi-year grants, grants secured for next year and the goodwill shown towards SeeSaw means that the trustees feel confident that the donation income eamed over the next 12 months will be sufficient for the charity to be able to continue as a going concern.
Funds
Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the charity and which have not been designated for other purposes.
Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors or which have been raised by the charity fora particular purpose. The cost of raising and administering such funds are charged against the specific fund where material and if allowed by the funder. The aim and use of each restricted fund is set out in the notes to these accounts.

2 STATEMENT OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued...)
Incoming resources
All incoming resources are included in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has legal entitlement to the resources, it is probable that the resources will be received and the monetary value of the incoming resources can be measured with sufficient reliability.
Donations and
grants are recognised when the distribution is received.
For legacies, entitlement is the earlier of the charity being notified of animpending distribution or the legacy being received. At this point income is recognised. On occasion, legacies will be notified to the charity where itis not possible to measure the amount expected to be distributed. On these occasions the legacy is treated as a contingent asset and disclosed.
Income from trading activities includes income eared from fundraising events and activities to raise funds forthe charity. Income is received in exchange for supplying goods and services in order to raise funds and is recognised when entitlement has occurred.
Investment income is earned through holding assets for investment purposes such as cash on deposit. Interest income is recognised as and when received.
Other income includes income from the provision of training, the sale of literature and royalties.
Resources expended
All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all costs related to the category. Expenditure is recognised where there is a legal or constructive obligation to make payments to third parties, it is probable that the settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. It is categorised under the following headings: e Costs of raising funds includes commercial and fundraising activities;
° Expenditure on charitable activities includes child bereavement support, schools support service and pre-bereavement service.
Irrecoverable VAT is charged as an expense against the activity for which expenditure arose.
Support costs allocation
Support costs are those that assist the work of SeeSaw but do not directly represent charitable activities and include office costs, governance costs and administrative payroll costs. They are incurred directly in support of expenditure on the objects of SeeSaw. Where support costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings, they have been allocated to the cost of raising funds and expenditure on charitable activities on a basis consistent with use of the resources. Premises and other overheads have been allocated between cost of raising funds and expenditure on charitable activities on the basis of floor space occupied.

2 STATEMENT OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued...)
Intangible fixed assets
Intangible fixed assets are stated at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses. Amortisation on website development has been provided at 33.3% on a straight line basis so as to write off the cost less residual value of the assets over their estimated useful life.
Tangible fixed assets
Fixed assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses.
Depreciation has been provided at the following rates so as to write off the cost less residual value of the assets over their estimated useful lives.
Fixtures & fittings 20% Straight line basis Computer equipment 33.33% Straight line basis Building improvements 10% Straight line basis
On disposal the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the item sold is recognised in the statement of financial activities.
Stock
Stock has been valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value.
Financial instruments
The charity only enters into basic financial instruments transactions that result in the recognition of financial assets and liabilities like trade and other accounts receivable and payable, loans from banks and other third parties, loans to related parties and investments in non-puttable ordinary shares.
Financial assets are measured at cost and are assessed at the end of each reporting period for objective evidence of impairment. Where objective evidence of impairment is found, an impairment loss is recognised in the statement of financial activities.
The impairment loss forfinancial assets measured at costis measured as the difference between an asset's carrying amount and the best estimate, which is an approximation, of the amount that the charity would receive for the asset if it were to be sold at the reporting date. Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount reported in the balance sheet when there is an enforceable right to set off the recognised amount and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

2 STATEMENT OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued...)
Impairment of non-financial assets
At each reporting date, non-financial assets not carried at fair value, like goodwill and plant, property and equipment, are reviewed to determine whether there is an indication that an asset may be impaired. If there is an indication of possible impairment, the recoverable amount of any asset or group of related assets (which is the higher of value in use and the fair value less cost to sell) is estimated and compared with its carrying amount. If the recoverable amount is lower, the carrying amount of the asset is reduced to its recoverable amount and an impairment loss is recognised immediately in the statement of financial activities.
Stocks are also assessed for impairment at each reporting date. The carrying amount of each item of stock, or group of similar items, is compared with its selling price less cost to complete and sell. If an item of stock, or group of similaritems, is impaired its carrying amount is reduced to selling price less costs to completeand sell, and an impairment loss is recognised immediately in the statement of financial activities.
If an impairment loss is subsequently reversed, the carrying amount ofthe asset, or group of related assets, is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but not to exceed the amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised forthe asset, or group of related assets, in prior periods. Areversal of an impairment loss is recognised immediately in the statement of financial activities.
Debtors
Short term debtors are measured at transaction price, less any impairment.
Creditors
Short term trade creditors are measured at the transaction price. Other financial liabilities, including bank loans, are measured initially at fair value, net of transaction costs, and subsequently at amortised cost.
Pensions
The charity operates a defined contribution pension scheme. The amount charged to the statement of financial activities in respect of pension costs and other post-retirement benefits is the amount payable in the year. Differences between contributions payable and contributions actually paid in the year are shown as either accruals or prepayments in the balance sheet. Pension costs are allocated between charitable activities based on full time equivalent headcount. Pension costs forfundraisers are allocated to the cost of raising funds. One member of staff is funded bya restricted grant and their pension costs are allocated to this restricted fund. All other pension costs are allocated to unrestricted expenditure.

Leases
Leases are classified as finance leases when they transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the leased assets to the company. Other leases that do not transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the leased assets to the company are classified as operating leases.
Taxation
The charity is an exempt charity within the meaning of schedule 3 of the Charities Act 2011 and is considered to pass tests set out in Paragraph 1 Schedule 6 Finance Act 2010 and therefore it meets the definition of a charitable company for UK corporation tax purposes.

10 ROLE OF VOLUNTEERS
Volunteer Support Workers volunteer their time to meet regularly with children and young people to carry out grief support work with them. Some of them also provide a Phone Clinical service to advise parents on how to support bereaved children. SeeSaw also uses volunteers to support fundraising at events and to promote and represent SeeSaw at meetings. SeeSaw also has one volunteer who supports with administrative tasks.
The contribution of VSWs supports the delivery of the clinical service to a wider number of children and young people. All our volunteers allow us to extend our reach and support our paid staff in the execution of SeeSaw’s work. As a voluntary organisation we are dependent on volunteers to support us with the running of the organisation in the most cost effective manner.
