Butterflies Bereavement Support is a community-based bereavement charity.

Butterflies is here to transform lives through the provision of accessible bereavement care and support for over 18s. This includes bereavement counselling, telephone befriending, and local bereavement support groups.

Our Chances for Children grants are targeted at those living in financial hardship, and dealing with multiple challenging social issues.

They are made directly to children and young people who are facing a range of complex issues. They are tailored to their particular needs, in order to prevent them from falling further into crisis and help them to transform their lives. The grants pay for a range of items and costs, many of which are those we would expect any child growing up in the UK to have, but which their parents or carers cannot afford. In a small number of cases, where home is not the best place for a child to be, the grant pays for them to attend boarding school.

What makes our Chances for Children grants different is that they offer a holistic funding package designed to meet the multiple needs of vulnerable children and young people. The grants meet immediate practical needs by paying for household items, but also meet a child’s longer-term educational and emotional needs. As such, we have found that they can have a disproportionately positive impact compared to their monetary value; in some cases, they are transformational. There is nothing else like them available within the social care sector.

Caritas Portsmouth is part of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Portsmouth
What we do
Caritas works as the diocese outreach organisation… we are not the only part of the Diocese undertaking outreach work, as many parishes and teams also are involved in outreach…

However, Caritas is solely concerned with outreach, with bringing the Bishop’s vision of “bringing people to Jesus through his church” to life by being outward looking servants.

All that Caritas does is based on Catholic Social Teaching.
