Launching SIBLING SUPPORT

We’re excited to introduce our brand new Sibling Support sessions — a space just for siblings of heart children to relax, connect, and have fun with others who truly understand.

What to expect:

Friendly, relaxed play sessions (similar to our Hubs)

Activities, games, and space to just be themselves

A chance to meet other siblings who share similar experiences

Locations: Gloucester & Bristol (alternating monthly)
Ages: We’ll adapt sessions based on who attends — all ages welcome to trial
Spaces: Limited to 15 per session

Drop-off sessions:
These are primarily drop-off sessions to give siblings their own space. However, we understand every family is different — parents are welcome to stay if needed, and we’ll ensure there’s a comfortable setup available.

A note for families:
These sessions are designed specifically for siblings. Our heart children already have dedicated sessions, but we’ll continue to listen to feedback as this grows.

Looking ahead:
We’ll start by running sessions with our team and volunteers, with plans to grow, develop activities, and expand support based on what families need.

Why this matters:
Siblings play such an important role — often as quiet supporters and carers. This is their space to feel seen, supported, and celebrated.

Spaces are limited, so keep an eye out for booking links coming soon!
