The charity’s Family Support team has set up the free and confidential service thanks to funding from Hospice UK and it is hoping to reach out to all, including the most vulnerable people in the community such as the elderly, along with the black and Asian communities, who have been hardest hit by the virus.
Three qualified volunteers, together with the Family Support team, will be available to provide therapeutic support to people over video or telephone so they can acknowledge the death and work on their grief.
Funding is currently only available until April 2021. If you, or someone you know, would benefit from this service or like to find out more, please call 01708 753319 and ask to speak to a member of the Family Support Services Team. Alternatively, please email the team at bereavementcounselling@sfh.org.uk
