Nelson’s Journey

Nelson‘s Journey supports children and young people in Norfolk who’ve experienced the death of a significant person. We offer a Support Line service on 01603 431788 which allows families and professionals to speak to a Child Bereavement Support Worker for guidance and information. Many people find that this provides the information and guidance needed without the need to complete a request for support form. The Support Line service is also open to all families referred to Nelson’s Journey and the professionals working with them (subject to necessary parental consent). We also offer an Early Support phone service for families to help support the bereavement needs of children and young people in the early weeks following a death. Before making a Request for Support, please be aware that the bereaved child / young person you are contacting us about must: Be aged under 18 Live in Norfolk OR is a Looked After Child which Norfolk County Council has placed outside of Norfolk Have had a significant relationship with the person who died, and their death has had a significant impact Be aware of the Request for Support being made for them, and be willing to engage with us. We offer therapeutic bereavement support, but we are not a formal counselling service.
