Talking About Loss has launched a £7,500 appeal to fund free bereavement counselling in Yorkshire.
Talking About Loss has launched a £7,500 fundraising appeal to provide free bereavement counselling for children and adults across the East Riding and North Yorkshire. The charity was founded by Jacqueline Gunn following the death of her father, Christopher Munby, eight years ago. The appeal marks the anniversary of his death.
The charity supports bereaved people through 14 groups including cafes, Men's Space sessions, Walk & Talk meet-ups and activity-based gatherings. It also runs Young Hearts, a monthly group for bereaved children and their families that offers creative support without pressure to talk. Ms Gunn said the groups 'give people somewhere to belong, whether they want to talk, join in an activity or simply sit with someone who understands'.
Funds raised will go towards providing counselling and play therapy. Ms Gunn noted that 'funding is getting harder to secure'. The charity is also planning another Christmas family day at Murton Park, which more than 100 families attended last year.
