Clear Sky Children's Charity

General information

Clear Sky Children's Charity was founded in 2010 by Sophia Giblin:

“The idea for Clear Sky came about in 2010 following a difficult personal experience in my own childhood. My mother passed away in 2002 leaving behind 4 children. Being the eldest I had to take on the mother’s role which came with many challenges, and being a teenage girl growing up without a mum wasn’t easy. My little sister was only 9 at the time and, being so young, she found it difficult to come to terms with what had happened. As a result, she suffered with major anxiety from the age of 10 and struggled to enjoy the things that all children should be free to enjoy.

More than 10 years on and our family are still shaken from this loss. I often wondered what our lives would have been like if we’d had someone who could help us explore the confusing feelings attached to our situation when we were still making sense of it all.

There are too many children out there suffering at the hands of circumstances beyond their control. The aim is to provide support to children to help them feel happier in themselves, to have a greater understanding of the world around them, to help them understand that they are special and that there are people out there who can help.”
