The BEAD Project – a partnership between Adfam and Cruse Bereavement Care – is launching two new peer-led support groups for people bereaved by drug or alcohol use. The groups are being piloted in London and Birmingham from April to June 2016 and are open to any adult who has been bereaved through drug or alcohol use.

Comment on the study ‘Bereavement by suicide as a risk factor for suicide attempt’ published in BMJ Open

Cruse Bereavement Care has welcomed research from University College London carried out by Dr Alexandra Pitman et al, published in BMJ Open. The study highlights the difficulties faced by those who lose someone to suicide. Researchers found an increased risk of suicide attempts in those bereaved by suicide, and also found those bereaved by suicide were more likely to drop out of education or work.

Cruse Bereavement Care is delighted to announce that our new Trustee Michael Whitehouse (right) was awarded the OBE in the New Year honours list. Michael is Chief Operating Officer, National Audit Office and was honoured for services to Public Sector Audit.

The Cruse Bereavement Care Annual Review 2014/15 Join us  shows how we worked together with our volunteers, supporters and staff to make a real difference to the lives of bereaved people last year.
