Bereavement
Useful contact details in times of bereavement.
Volunteers needed for bereavement service
We’re looking for volunteers from the local community to help start up a much needed Cruse Bereavement service in Lambeth.
Cruse Bereavement Care exists to promote the well-being of bereaved people and to enable anyone bereaved by death to understand their grief and cope with their loss. Read more about Cruse Bereavement Care.
Initially we need people who like to plan projects and to form a steering committee. Later we’ll need people who want to work with bereaved people, and who will take part in the special training courses.
