Young Ambassadors

Are you a bereaved young person who wants to make a difference?

SeeSaw Grief Support is inviting young adults, aged 18-25, to become Young Ambassadors, a meaningful role for those who want to use their personal experience to help others, raise awareness about grief in children and young people, and help shape the future of bereavement support services in Oxfordshire.

“Seeing people who had gone through SeeSaw and gone on to do things and become well rounded people, made it feel like it wasn’t the end of my life…I could go further, even though he (Dad) wasn’t there.”

What you can do:

Share your story (if and when you feel ready)

Support our work by raising awareness in person or through social media

Help shape bereavement services by offering your thoughts and feedback

Produce content for our social media, website, and resources

Take part in events, fundraising activities, or campaigns

Connect with other young people who understand grief

Represent the voices of the children and young people we support

You’ll get advice, training, and the chance to use your experience for something powerful. Open to young people aged 18-25 who have been supported by SeeSaw. Interested? Get in touch with Liv to find out more via liv.webster@seesaw.org.uk

Meet our Young Ambassadors

Nettie

I’m currently studying for A levels, and I started volunteering with SeeSaw in 2022 for the short film project. I first saw SeeSaw when my dad died in 2022, and Annie was so helpful in talking through my early feelings, changes happening around me, and what to expect for the funeral (very much appreciated some of her preparations there). I started as a Youth Ambassador to give back for what SeeSaw had done for me, and I have stayed because it‘s an excuse to meet up with friends who have shared the same experiences.

Jake

My name is Jake, I’m 19 years old and volunteering as a SeeSaw Young Ambassador. I was supported by SeeSaw after my Dad died in 2012, when I was 5.

As a Young Ambassador I want to give back to SeeSaw in the same way they helped me at such as young age. This project has helped me gain friends with similar experiences and connect with other bereaved young people.

Missy

I’m currently on a Gap Year. I first heard about SeeSaw when I was 14 since I had just recently lost my mum to cancer. I jumped at a chance to work with SeeSaw again within our new Young Ambassadors group because of the amazing things I know SeeSaw can and does do. I hope to give back the same energy, effort and care that SeeSaw offered me when I needed it most within all of our upcoming projects. I can’t wait to see all of the amazing ideas and ventures that come out of our new group!

Tiana

My connection to SeeSaw stems from losing my dad unexpectedly at 6 years old. Being a Young Ambassador means I get to give back, and make the conversation about bereavement for children a louder one.

Moss

I first started with SeeSaw in 2020 after my mum died from cancer. SeeSaw was a major part of my support and growth through my bereavement. I’ve learnt how to live and grow with my grief all thanks to the SeeSaw team. I’ve got through exams, college and now I’m pursuing my dream job all through the confidence that SeeSaw has helped me find. I’m so happy to be back helping this wonderful charity for a second time!

Aisha

SeeSaw helped by offering me 1:1 support to help with understanding my grief. They weren’t there to tell me what to do, they were there to listen to what I needed and understand how to digest what was happening around me. Their support for me felt tailored as an older teen. I was 18 and I was really scared.

Liv

My name is Liv, I am 23 and SeeSaw helped me through my journey with grief when I lost my mum at age 10. As a Young Ambassador, I want to help raise awareness around childhood bereavement and be part of making these conversations more open and understood.
