Chairs report

My thanks and all good wishes to all those who have helped us achieve our aims and objectives during this financially difficult year - a year that has been particularly distressing for me with the death of my dear husband, who positively supported me as a Management Committee Member of this superb service. His legacy remains in the fact I am more than ever committed to improving the lives of people suffering from the death of someone in their lives.
Our wonderful volunteers do some superb work in relieving emotional and physical distress and giving bereaved people the support they need to face life after their loss. Their endless training and supervision shows their commitment to bereaved people and their care for others in our community.

Thank you to our volunteers;
