Jeremiah's Journey is a Plymouth based charity that offers support and information to children and their families when someone special has died.

The charity is made up of a team of individuals experienced in working with bereaved children and their parents or carers. They are able to provide information and support to children who have experienced or are anticipating the death of someone special to them. The main part of what they provide are group programmes which are run by a multidisciplinary team of professionals that comprises of an Assistant Psychologist/Coordinator; Fundraiser/Administrator; two part time Clinical Psychologists; six trustees and volunteers from Health, Education and Social care backgrounds.

We decided to support this charity as we hope our journey can help their journey. We both have personal links to the charity and wanted to give something back. We also wanted to help assist and raise awareness of a local charity.

Children going through the Jeremiah's Journey are encouraged to have a teddy bear, we will be taking our own teddy, JJ, along with us on our journey and will be taking lots of photos of him along the way.
