What is Woodside Bereavement Service?
Woodside Bereavement Service grew out of an increasing need in the area for a supportive Christian-based bereavement service for all who have suffered loss.

Who are we?
We are volunteers, trained as bereavement counsellors, who give one to one support on a regular basis.

Where are we?
We work in the London Borough of Croydon and surrounding areas.

Who uses the service?
The Bereavement Service is open to any person, male or female, of any age, sexuality, ethnic origin, culture or religion. Those using the service might be: parents whose children have died; survivors of disasters; children or adults who have lost parents; mothers whose babies have died through cot death; people whose friends or relatives have been killed in accidents; women who have suffered from miscarriage or termination of pregnancy; those who have lost partners; in fact any who have been bereaved or suffered loss in any way and feel that we can help them; including pre-bereavement counselling for the terminally ill (including HIV/Aids) & their carers.

How much do we charge?
Our service is free to all, but we rely on voluntary donations.
