Everybody will experience bereavement at some point on their lives and for some the effect can have a profound impact on emotional physical and mental health, requiring more than the normal support mechanisms provided by friends and family.
Through its nationwide network of specially trained volunteers, Cruse Bereavement Care is contacted by over 100,000 people per annum and provides face-to--face support for some 45,000.
Our Vision is that all bereaved people have somewhere to turn when someone dies.
Cruse offers one-to-one support, advice and information to children, young people and adults when someone dies, and works to enhance society's care of bereaved people. Our range of services meet NICE guidelines on bereavement support and are available regardless of the nature of the death or the length of time elapsed.
The services are delivered by teams of dedicated volunteers who undergo special training and are organised by Areas, of which Hampshire is one.
