About Sue Ryder- Grief kind spaces
As a Grief Kind Spaces volunteer, your role will be to help facilitate the session enabling people to come together to talk to others in a similar position. You will also signpost to other support services available when required.
Ideally, we hope you’d volunteer for between 2-4 hours per week on a rota, however, we are very flexible and this can be discussed with your local coordinator.
