Sibling Support

Admission application

Applications for the first Sibling Support group are open from 1 October to 26 December 2026. Applying does not guarantee a place. The group is the same people for all twelve Saturdays, starting 9 January 2027, so entry is by application, not drop-in.

For ages 4 to 7, a parent completes the form for the child. Cordelia then has a brief conversation with the family before offering a place.
