Bereavement Support Group
This group is to provide support for the Bereaved, whether recently or longer ago. Due to Fiona Devoy’s other commitments she is unable to proceed with the training resources from The Bereavement Journey www.thebereavementjourney.com
The plan is that someone else will take on the role of training the existing volunteers and any new ones using the digital resources from The Bereavement Journey. Fiona is happy to help with this. The plan is that training will start Spring 2026 with a trial group using the new resources starting in September 2026.
