Welcome to Balloons
We're here for bereaved children and young people across Exeter, East and Mid Devon.
We are a small, local charity offering a range of support to children and young people aged 5 – 25 when someone significant in their life dies or is about to die. Find out how you can access this support or how you can help us in raising funds to keep our vital work going.
It’s our 20th Anniversary! Can you help us celebrate?

We would like to thank the Grief Support Worker and the Balloons charity for the amazing help and support they offered my son and myself. He loved his sessions with his Grief Support Worker, they have been invaluable to him.
It has really helped him to talk about the loss of his feelings surrounding it all… From the first call I made I was supported and reassured. Thank you to everyone at Balloons.
