We aim to provide Memory boxes within 2-4 weeks to each bereaved child registering with us. They act as a conduit between us and the child, enabling parents and carers to introduce our support services. The boxes include a notebook, pen or pencil, tissues, a specially designed rainbow wish bracelet and a knitted Rainbow bear which can be used for comfort or as a worry bear. The boxes are large enough for children to store small treasured items and special photographs and memories.
Books
We provide books free of charge to beneficiaries and schools (£30 budget for schools). To order a schools pack please go to https://www.harrysrainbow.co.uk/view/schools.
Relevant books and resources are discussed with a parent or carer for relevance before we provide these, as children's circumstances and emotional intelligence can very much vary. Here is a short list of some of the books we use, most of which we purchase from Amazon UK or known authors.
We regularly research new titles so if you have any suggestions please let us know!
