REVIEW OF ACTIVITIES
Over 9,000 hours of one to one counselling and support were provided this year
for 525 bereaved people in Brent. Maintaining our charity clearly focused on
our aim to relieve emotional and behavioural problems associated with death.
Our telephone help line has provided support and advice to over 400 people,
giving instant relief and encouragement. In addition to this work we have trained
over 100 people in bereavement awareness, including teachers, health professionals
and students. Our group work continues to successfully help those who request
further support following one to one sessions.
