About Us

The Loss Foundation is a UK national charity dedicated solely to providing bereavement support following the loss of a loved one to cancer, whether that be spouses, family members, friends or colleagues. In response to the global pandemic we are also currently supporting Covid-19 bereavement.

We provide a variety of support events to help people at any point during their loss, and create the opportunity for them to meet others who have experienced something similar. We also educate and empower others to support those who are grieving via our workshops and training.

What we do

Our charity offers a variety of free grief support events, in-person and online. We also provide an array of information on our website to help people learn more about grief and how to look after themselves in the face of loss.

All of our services were created in response to the need that our users have spoken about. As a result we run a variety of different supportive events including peer support groups, therapy groups, workshops, social events, weekend retreats, and more. You can learn about all we do on our Get Support page.

Loss and the need for support

Talking helps. Having a space where death is not a taboo is important. And knowing that others who have experienced something similar are there to support you can be a huge relief.

Watch this beautiful and poignant video to hear some of our beneficiaries bravely talking about their loss and the benefits of accessing support from The Loss Foundation.
