The extending pressure of the pandemic means EACH’s care is more important than ever. Families who have been shielding and self-isolating become exhausted from providing care alone. EACH have adapted the delivery of many services to continue to support families in different and innovative ways including online counselling, music and art therapy and online groups for bereavement and so much more. 

• £23 could pay a clinical nurse specialist for an hour to deliver expert nursing and symptom management care to a child or young person.
• £76 could pay a counsellor for four hours to provide specialist support to bereaved family members, helping them cope during the more difficult times.
• £170 could support a session of music therapy which provides a means of interaction, communication and self-expression through music, when words are not possible or are inadequate.
