Meet the AtaLoss Trustees

Yvonne

AtaLoss.org was founded by Revd Canon Yvonne Richmond Tulloch to ensure that every bereaved person in the UK can find the support that they need. We have a small board of Trustees committed to fulfilling our vision.

Yvonne
Yvonne Richmond Tulloch
Suddenly widowed in 2008 as a Cathedral Canon Yvonne's life went into free fall.  She realised how little she and others around her knew about bereavement, its difficulties and needs, and how hard it can be to find understanding support.  Since then Yvonne has focused her attention on ensuring bereaved people of all walks of life find the support that they need.  In 2016 Yvonne founded AtaLoss to signpost bereaved people to the range of support services that exist across the UK, plug gaps in support where it is scarce and mobilise effective local support. Her main focus is on training faith groups and church leaders to enhance bereavement support within communities.

As an ordained minister Yvonne has an additional perspective on the issues of bereavement and the needs of bereaved people.  She is Bishop's Officer for clergy bereavement for Southwark Diocese, and helps Care for the Family as Chaplain for their 'Widowed Young Support' and in facilitating 'Bereavement Care Awareness' days.  She is author of 'Faith Questions in Bereavement' and leads a national on-line The Bereavement Journey course several times a year.

Although founded by a Christian, AtaLoss is a charity run by people from all backgrounds and its service is for bereaved people whatever their faith or cultural background, wherever they live in a UK.

Andrew Shaw brings a breadth of business and commercial experience to the AtaLoss Board which he joined in August 2021. 

He is currently Head of Strategy and Transformation for Steps To Work, a charitable organisation operating in the Black Country and helping people with the provision of personalised employment support services.

Andrew has been a volunteer for nearly 40 years; as a school governor and chair of governors at a couple of primary schools and a high school, and as a treasurer, Board member and vice-chairman for CSSC. 

Andrew was bereaved suddenly at the age of 35 when his father passed away suddenly, and Andrew was left to provide care and comfort to his widowed mother.

Jane Oundjian

Trustee

Expand

Jane Oundjian MBE trained as a counsellor at Westminster Pastoral Foundation in 1993and went on to train with Cruse Bereavement Care, for whom she worked for many years in the North Kensington area, giving one to one bereavement support to clients and helping to run counselling training sessions for the Branch.

Jane has had her own bereavement experiences having lost her single parent mother at the age of 16 and also her first child when he was 14 months old. These experiences eventually led her in 1995 to write and develop a six-session group programme designed to help grieving people. She ran this course, The Bereavement Journey, for 23 years at Holy Trinity Brompton and now continues to run it where she lives, in West Sussex. The Bereavement Journey material was filmed in 2015 and the course now runs all over the UK and overseas.

Jane was awarded an MBE for services to bereaved people in the Queen's Birthday Honours List in 2020.
