In the charity's own words

Sandy Bear strengthen the emotional health and well-being of young people aged 0-25 (and their families) in the lead up to and following a bereavement. We aim to reduce emotional difficulties in childhood and the prevalence of mental illness in later life that can result in a decreased quality of life, poorer educational attainment, social and health problems and increased vulnerability.
