SUE RYDER is on the lookout for volunteers in Coventry to assist with the launch of a new community scheme.
Following the launch of Sue Ryder Grieg Kind Spaces in other parts of the county, Village Hotel Coventry is teaming up with the charity to launch a new weekly Grief Kind Space.
The scheme needs volunteers who are willing to listen and support people who are grieving and need more support.
There will be free weekly drop-in sessions run by trained volunteers.
Sue Ryder’s Grief Kind Spaces Area Coordinator, Jayne Purshall said: “Almost every home in the UK has, or will experience the death of someone.
“Yet, our research tells us two out of three people who are grieving are still not getting the support they need.
“We spoke to 8,500 people who have been bereaved and many of them told us the support they really wanted was to meet and talk to others who had also been bereaved.
“That’s why we’re launching our Grief Kind Spaces.
“However, to open a Grief Kind Space here in Coventry we need local residents to volunteer with us. All volunteers joining us will be offered training which will equip them in their role.
“If you are interested in joining us in bringing Grief Kind Spaces to Coventry, please get in touch. You don’t need to have experience or have done anything like this before – just have a willingness to support others.”
