The Islington Bereavement Service offers support for adults who have experienced the death of a family member, relative, or another important person in their life.

Run by St Joseph's Hospice and a team of trained volunteers, this service can offer practical, social and emotional support.

The service offers:

• companionship and a listening ear
• emotional support
• company to go to medical appointments, the library or on a local outing
• help in finding important support services.

The Bereavement Service is delivered by volunteer companions. All volunteers are fully trained and vetted. They can provide confidential support on a one-to-one basis or within a group setting. They are not counsellors but have been trained in listening skills.
