Bereavement Counselling Service
Death and bereavement bring many changes which are often difficult and painful. Some people find it helpful to talk to a counsellor who is trained to support you and help you talk about all that has happened.
Counselling for Couples
We are also able to offer counselling to couples whose child has died. If you and your partner have experienced the loss of a child or a baby, you may like to meet together with a counsellor who can talk with you about what has happened and how this has affected you, your relationship and your family.
Bereavement Volunteer Service
We have carefully selected and trained volunteers from the multi-faith community to offer practical help and support to bereaved people. We offer:

· Befriending
· Advice and information
Our volunteers understand how many changes there can be to cope with after the death of a family member or close friend. Our volunteers are trained to listen and to be supportive at this difficult time.
