About Sue Ryder- Grief kind spaces
Grief kind spaces are in-person drop-in sessions held in the local community. The informal sessions provide a safe, welcoming and supportive place for people who have been bereaved to share their experiences of grief, helping attendees to feel heard and less alone.
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.
