Bereavement Help Point Volunteer

Bereavement can profoundly affect a person and can be a hard, confusing, and isolating time. However, most people do not need professional counseling to cope with bereavement and those who have social support from family, friends and their community are likely to do better.

We are asking for help from the community of Blaenau Gwent, particularly those who have had experience of bereavement themselves, to support the running of our Bereavement Help Points in Blaenau Gwent
