Could you help someone experiencing grief?  

by Sue Ryder Grief Kind Spaces

We are looking for volunteers for Sue Ryder Grief Kind Spaces - safe, informal, and supportive places in your community to share experiences of grief. Grief Kind Spaces help people to feel heard and less alone.  

We meet weekly and in-person, anyone can drop in, and the sessions are run by trained volunteers. You don’t need any qualifications or previous experience, as our volunteers are trained to support people in a group setting, guide compassionate conversations and provide signposting to relevant support.
We are looking for volunteers specifically at venues in Smethwick, Wednesbury, Cradley Heath and Oldbury.
We reimburse actual travel expenses.
