About this cause

We offer group Bereavement Support to residents of Ockbrook and Borrowash, anyone referred to us by a local Medical Centre, and from either of the two Funeral Directors here. We hold a monthly meeting for the locally bereaved, in a safe space, staffed by volunteers trained in the study of the grief process; listen, confidentially, to those who attend; encourage them to share concerns and to offer support to each other. Our objective is to help them accept they are experiencing a natural emotion, and gradually to work towards accepting their new situation. If necessary, and with their permission, put them in touch with specialist professionals, and ultimately to encourage them to move on with their life. We are staffed jointly by Borrowbrook Home Link and Borrowash Methodist Church

How this cause brings people in the community together

We hope our project will enable the bereaved to be aware of support opportunities and encourage an accepting and welcoming community for people at a difficult time in their life.
