Welcome to HopeSpace
We support children and young people from Galway City and County who are negatively impacted by grief
What do we do at HopeSpace?
We provide a free one-to-one listening service for grieving children (aged 4-17 years), in a confidential, warm, caring and supportive environment in our Centre in Galway City. A trained volunteer helps children address their emotions around grief, helping them to understand that grief is a normal reaction to loss and all their emotions are normal.

“Empathy is simply listening, holding space, withholding judgement, emotionally connecting and communicating that incredibly healing message of you’re not alone.”
