Once again our thoughts and deepest sympathies are with the people of France following the attack in Nice – those who died, those who have lost loved ones, those who were injured and those who witnessed the attacks.

The attacks may also have triggered memories for those bereaved in other situations. Everyone’s experience is unique but no-one needs face the trauma alone. Cruse Bereavement Care provides somewhere to turn, through our national helpline and network of local services across England, Wales and Northern Ireland, in the days, weeks and months ahead.

On Sunday 10th July 2016 Cruse Bereavement Care will be fielding our biggest running team to-date in the London 10K.

You can support our 29 runners to meet their fundraising target at www.justgiving.com/teams/cruse10k. The money raised will go towards providing our vital services to bereaved people.

This Sunday, June 12th The Mall in London will be transformed into the largest ever street party with 10,000 people celebrating The Queens patronage of 600 organisations on the occasion of Her Majesty’s 90th Birthday.

A new survey of British adults due to be released to coincide with Dying Matters Week 2016 has found that, even though people say they feel increasingly comfortable talking about death and dying, 14% say nothing would prompt them to think about their own funeral and nearly half (48%) would only be prompted to consider it when someone close to them had died.
