Can you help provide comfort for bereaved?
by Duncan Smith
A CHARITY working in the Rib ble Valley is appealing for people to come forward as volunteers to help bereaved people who are hav ing d if ficulty coming to terms with their loss. “Cruse Bereavement Care needs
more supporters in this district,” said area treasurer Janet Tinton. “We need more volunteers in order
to improve waiting times for clients, who are currently having to wait up to several months after contacting the charity for a supporter to become free to offer one-to-one counselling ses sions.” The Cruse organisation in each area
is financially independent and recruits and trains its own volunteers to a nationally-agreed standard. No special skills are needed, except
a genuine desire to help out over a period of time and an empathetic

nature. Recruits will take part in a 60- hour training course from March to June th a t explains the different aspects of bereavement and grief, explores counselling issues and pro motes good practice. Previous trainees have commented
that the course gives many practical ideas as well as the theory. Following completion of the course
and a satisfactory period undertaking client sessions under the care of a trained supervisor, the recruits wdll become accredited Cruse bereavement support volunteers. Cruse bereavement care is recog
nised as the leading charity for bereavement care and the national office is consulted by the Department of Health over bereavement issues. ’ The Rev. Toby Webber, acting ,
chairman of the Lancashire Area Committee, explained: “We want to improve our service to clients in this district and to shorten waiting times, therefore it is absolutely vital that we recruit more bereavement support
volunteers. The work is very reward ing and feedback from clients shows us how valued the service is. “It can sometimes be difficult to
adjust to the death of someone close to us. Cruse volunteers can help peo ple to express painful thoughts and feelings, gain an understanding of the process of bereavement, discuss and explore practical issues and find the support and help that allows them to move on.” Anyone interested in this type of
voluntary work should contact the Lancashire Area Office on 01772 431631 or e-mail: cruselancashire@
tiscali.co.uk Office staff are not trained to handle enquiries from clients: the helpline for clients needing support is 017'72 433645. Janet Tinton added: “As each area
of Cruse is financially self-supporting, we are still seeking sponsorship from local businesses to help meet the costs of running this course. I would stress that we are the local branch and any sponsorship will be used in this area.”
