The Loss Foundation is a registered charity specialising in bereavement support for individuals whose loved ones have died of cancer. The charity is run by volunteer psychologists and mental health professionals, as well as professionals from other fields.

We host bereavement support groups and therapeutic events online, and offer in-person support across the country through informal get-togethers and walks.

Volunteers will receive supervision from Clinical Psychologists, participate in professional development sessions, and may contribute to research.
