The Maypole Project provides a unique pattern of emotional psychological/social support which is based on and led by the families’ needs. It’s unique because of the way that it’s provided; flexible and on-going, professional and understanding.

It is important to note:
Maypole support is ALWAYS FREE OF CHARGE to families.
Maypole support is provided with NO TIME LIMIT.
We have a full range of policies and procedures embedded in our work to ensure quality and safety.
Emotional support can be: counselling, befriending, whole family therapy/support, groups, activity/respite days, information/advocacy. For more information see links below.
Children who can be referred will have been diagnosed with an illness which is life-threatening or life-limiting between the ages of 0 – 18, but the family can be referred at ANY time from birth onwards (see examples of support following a child’s death below).
