Because no one should face death or grief alone

Sue Ryder

 

We are here to make sure that everyone approaching the end of their life or living with grief can access the support they need. We can’t make life’s most difficult moments easy, but we can carry some of the load.

Our vision

We want a society that supports everyone through dying and grief.

A society where the voices of people who are dying or grieving are heard, where everyone gets the care and support they need and services are integrated with the wider healthcare system.

A society where everybody can have open and honest conversations with their friends and family to help them prepare for death and where people with a life-limiting diagnosis are supported to live well in the time they have left.

Where trusted resources, information and bereavement services are accessible to everybody who needs them and where communities across the country provide compassion and support to those in need so that nobody grieves alone.

Our three goals

To help deliver our vision, we have set ourselves three key goals. These are:

  • better grief support for everyone
  • helping people who are dying to live well
  • speaking up for people who are grieving or dying.

 

Dying and grief are universal experiences, but too many people face them alone. We are a safe and reassuring hand you can reach for. From providing care and support for someone at the end of their life to helping someone manage their grief, we know there is no one size fits all when it comes to how we cope and the help we need.

How we support people who are dying 

How we support people who are grieving 

We campaign for everyone who is approaching the end of their life or grieving to have access to the right support, at the right time. And we seek to break down the barriers to talking about dying and grief - so we can all be better prepared and better equipped to be there for each other.
