Siblings’ Band Camp

  • 10:00 am - 3:30 pm
  • Shooting Star House (Shooting Star Children’s Hospices)

Runs Monday 27 July – Wednesday 29 July

This July we are excited to be offering our Siblings’ Band Camp for a second year. This 3-day creative experience is a chance for bereaved siblings to come together and form their own music band, using creativity and music as a way to explore and express their grief.

Supported by our creative and music therapists, they will be writing and recording their own songs to process the difficult experiences that come with loss and grief, in a safe, fun and caring environment. Being able to get to know and share with each other can help bereaved siblings feel less alone.

With support from our experienced creative and music therapists, children and young people will work together to write and record their own songs. The sessions are designed to provide a safe, supportive and enjoyable space where they can process difficult feelings, build confidence and connect with others who have had similar experiences. Sharing time together in this way can help siblings feel understood and less alone.

If you are a parent or carer of a bereaved child or young person aged 5–17 who may benefit from attending, please click “Enquire” to register your interest. A children’s therapist will then be in touch to talk through whether this group is the right fit.

Please note that it’s important for participants to attend all three days to gain the full benefit of the programme. If you do not have your own transport, we can arrange a taxi for you. Please email groups@shootingstar.org.uk to request this.
