About Alfie's Squad
Alfie's Squad supports children, and their families, who have been bereaved by suicide. It was set up by now 15 year old Alfie back in 2018, after he tragically lost his dad the year before when Alfie was just 8 years old.
Alfie wanted to be able to connect with other children who were in the same situation as him. Unfortunately, there were no peer support groups anywhere in the UK, so Alfie decided to step up and sort it out himself.
Alfie's Squad now provides in person support groups for children between the ages of 6-17 who have lost a loved one. They have also set up support groups for young adults between 18-25, as well as a parents/carer group.
In addition to this, Alfie's Squad Online provides weekly support to children from across the UK.
The main aims of Alfie's Squad are to reduce isolation and improve both self-worth and mental well-being in everyone who attends.
