Clear Sky Children’s Charity
Description
Clear Sky uses play and creative arts to transform the lives of children affected by the trauma of bereavement and domestic violence.
Founded by Sophia Giblin, who experienced the lack of professional support when she lost her mum at a young age, Clear Sky provide therapeutic services in Oxfordshire. With 2,400 therapy sessions delivered last year, 95% of children displayed well-being improvements. They offer professional development support for therapists, teachers, and social workers partly via their online portal. The portal has attracted interest from the NHS and local authorities, but technological constraints limit its uptake and potential.
Our funding will allow Clear Sky to support more children by expanding the portal’s offering, increasing usage and bolstering finances. This will also pave the way to a significant national influencing role in the sector.
