Our Lost Love Years
Somewhere Over The Rainbow
Don't Suffer Alone
O.L.L.Y supports children bereaved by homicide and culpable road death and also children spread across Communities in Merseyside where there is Deprivation. We provide children and young people with a range of activities designed around their needs to re-gain a positive outlook in their lives and re-establish friendships while making new ones.
Our Pick Up Service
OLLY offers a pickup service to children wanting to join in the OLLY group activities. Our unique Red Bus is our pride and joy sponsored by Liverpool Football Club in memory of The Hillsborough 97. Bringing children from communities spread across Merseyside to enjoy some fun trips out and breaks away. Please hoot your horn as The wheels on the bus go round and round!
