Hopespace CLG

HopeSpace Company Limited By Guarantee is a charitable organisation dedicated to supporting children and young people who are struggling with the loss of a loved one. Through a free, one-to-one service, trained volunteers help young people understand that grief is a normal reaction, encouraging them to express their emotions safely and build healthy coping skills.

The service provides critical early-intervention support that strengthens self-esteem, promotes positive parent-child relationships and eases parental stress. By fostering open communication between families, HopeSpace helps children navigate their grief while offering parents practical guidance and reassurance. The charity is also a proud partner of Connacht Rugby, underscoring its commitment to community wellbeing.

Based in Galway, HopeSpace serves families across the region, offering confidential chats, personalised sessions and a range of resources on talking about grief, supporting children at the time of death, returning to school and recommended reading. Their approachable, empathetic approach makes a meaningful difference for bereaved young people and their families.
