Help everyone find grief support this National Grief Awareness Week
2-8 December 2025
#FindGriefSupport
Grief touches everyone differently
Everyone deserves to face it knowing where to turn for help and understanding.
This National Grief Awareness Week, we’re campaigning for gold standard, universal signposting – so everyone can find the support that’s right for them. A significant bereavement can be the hardest experience and most people don’t find the help they need. Situations and needs vary and being directed to the range of support and information, for choice and holistic help, can make all the difference.
Many people have suppressed their grief, with seasons such as the lead up to Christmas, triggering their pain.
Join our campaign – help people #FindGriefSupport
This National Grief Awareness Week, we’re inviting everyone to raise awareness of the importance of effective signposting. Signposting is more than naming a few, well known services, as these can be overwhelmed. It is helping people actually find support; help which is right for the circumstances, when it is needed.
Share your story, your service, or your message of understanding using #FindGriefSupport, #AtaLoss, and #NationalGriefAwarenessWeek
Find support for you or someone you know
Direct every bereaved person in National Grief Awareness Week - and throughout December - to AtaLoss.org, the UK’s most comprehensive bereavement signposting and information hub.
Help people connect to the support you offer
If your charity, community group, faith organisation, or service offers regular bereavement-related support, you can list it for free on AtaLoss.org.
When people search for help, your listing ensures they can find your service quickly and easily, helping more bereaved people access the right support when they need it most.
Voices in Parliament
Wednesday 3rd December
As part of our campaign, we’re also taking our message on the importance of effective bereavement signposting to policymakers.
During National Grief Awareness Week, in collaboration with Cruse and other leading bereavement charities, and as part of the All-Party Parliamentary Group on Grief Support and the Impact of Death on Society - we are holding a Parliamentary Drop-In to champion effective signposting.
At our Parliamentary Drop-In, we’ll explore:
Why better signposting is urgently needed
What “gold standard” signposting looks like in practice
How effective signposting transforms lives, including stories from people who struggled to access timely support after a bereavement
This event coincides with the UK Commission on Bereavement’s latest review, which highlighted the urgent need for signposting and more bereavement support.
Follow our channels on 3rd December for updates, reflections, and ways to support our ongoing campaign to help bereaved people find the right, timely help across the UK.
