Trusts & Foundations

If you represent a charitable Trust and Foundation, you may be interested in finding out more about Cruse Scotland’s work supporting adults, children and young people struggling to cope after a bereavement.

Our services are designed to ensure that those needing support receive the right help at the right time and include:

• National Bereavement Helpline and Webchat providing listening, information and advice
• Self-help materials
• Early Support for those in the first six months of bereavement
• One-to-one grief counselling
• Specialist support for children, young people and families
• Support groups for bereaved adults
• Training for individuals, schools and organisations to reduce the stigma around grief, improve communication about death and create more compassionate spaces in society.

The difference your Trust or Foundation support will make

Bereavement support has never been more needed. Calls to our helpline over the past year have doubled with people struggling to cope with their grief exacerbated by the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic. Without intervention, unresolved and complicated grief can lead to a number of long-term mental and physical illnesses such as anxiety and depression.

Get in touch if you would like to know more about the difference your Trust or Foundation can make to bereaved people across Scotland.
