Welcome to the download page of
The Seeds of Hope Activity & Information Pack

The Pack has been designed for use in conjunction with the Seeds of Hope Children’s Garden at Guildford Cathedral or any other garden or park to help children and young people explore feelings of loss of all kinds with the support of their families, teachers or carers. The loss may be as a result of many things including death, divorce, adoption, separation, a change of school, because a best friend has moved away or a treasured possession has been lost.

A free copy of the original Pack can be obtained from the Cathedral or requested from the charity by emailing seedsofhopechildrensgarden@yahoo.co.uk
