{blacksquare} The 'Kingfisher Project' is a community-based programme of support groups for bereaved children

{blacksquare} It has been developed by a multi-disciplinary group of workers from health, education, social services and the voluntary sector

{blacksquare} Thirty-six children and young people have have been through the first five groups of the programme

{blacksquare} Children accessing the service are predominantly those at high risk of developing longer-term problems as a result of bereavement

{blacksquare} Evaluation indicates that the children and young people benefit in terms of increased social, behavioural, emotional and physical well-being

{blacksquare} Two sub-groups appear to have benefited less: these are children and young people with learning difficulties, and teenage girls

{blacksquare} Project evaluation has enabled workers to develop insights into the programme's strengths and weaknesses and has raised questions which merit further exploration

Key Words: Bereavement • Children • Evaluation • Groups
