What is Loss Matters?

Loss Matters is a free support programme for members of our local community who have had experience of grief, bereavement, and loss. The programme compounds taught elements with creative activities, scenarios, & space for the participants to share their stories. The essence of the programme is to allow people to explore the taboo of loss and the subsequent debts of grief that emerges when you have lost someone. It is an initiative which is community led, delivered with compassion, and understanding, whilst being evaluated using NHS guidelines on emotional health and well-being, individual resilience, and Cognitive Behaviour Therapy mindfulness. 

By its very nature, our programme has core elements, but individuals participating on the course find the sessions flexible enough to create a safe space in which to talk openly about the issues that they face both historically and currently. The purpose of the course is preventative and the aim is to accommodate the needs of the individual at the point of access. A listening ear, a cup of tea and a biscuit, as well as companionship as people navigate their way through life altering changes over which we have no control.
