AtaLoss' plans

Nobody in the UK, suffering a significant loss, should be left floundering or alone. We believe everyone should be provided with free, reliable and easy to access information about support available when they are bereaved, wherever they live, whatever the circumstances of the death and whatever their language. 

Our aim is to ensure that every bereaved person in the UK can find timely and appropriate bereavement support in the interests of their wellbeing and to prevent mental ill health arising.

How will we do that?

We will continue to build our directory of support organisations on our website. We will ensure that we offer the widest choice, including organisations that offer support to people of all faiths, communities and in all languages. We will also continue to ensure that support listed covers all corners of the UK and all types of bereavement.

We will seek to provide the highest possible standard of information and signposting, our continuing aim being to provide a reliable and up to date resource for bereaved people and for the professionals that encounter bereaved people through their work, to turn to when support is needed. We will enlist the support of experts to provide information where helpful and appropriate.

We will continue to work to ensure that all bereaved people know about our bereavement signposting website by raising awareness amongst all professionals encountering bereaved people in their workplace or whose responsibility is to support anyone who needs support. 

We will also seek to address the needs of bereaved people who aren't able or comfortable using the internet. We will embrace new technology where appropriate and collaborate with others to ensure anyone bereaved, finds the support they need. 

To achieve this we need:
