Help children heal through play
Some children are living with experiences they cannot yet process or express, including grief, bereavement, neglect, domestic instability, and family breakdown. Without early therapeutic support, childhood trauma can affect emotional wellbeing, relationships, learning and mental health well into adulthood.
Clear Sky is a children’s trauma therapy charity providing specialist Play and Creative Arts Therapy for children and young people.

Tip to JustGiving
When you make a donation to Clear Sky through JustGiving, a ‘Tip to JustGiving’ is automatically added to your donation. This is optional and separate from your donation to us. If you would prefer not to give a tip, select ‘Custom amount’ under the tip sliding scale and type in ‘0’. This does not affect your donation to Clear Sky at all.
Why Play and Creative Arts Therapy helps children heal
Children often struggle to explain difficult emotions through words alone. Play and Creative Arts Therapy allows children to express feelings safely through creativity, storytelling, movement, and play with the support of a specialised qualified therapist.
This can help children process grief, anxiety, trauma, and instability in a way that feels safe and age-appropriate.
