  • The AtaLoss Staff Team

The AtaLoss Staff Team

AtaLoss is a charity run by a diverse team of people who believe that bereaved people deserve the best possible support to help them deal with the trauma of their loss, and move forward in their lives. Together with our Ambassadors, we are a virtual team and based all over the UK. We all share the vision  that nobody in the UK, suffering a significant loss, should be left floundering or alone.

Alongside our award winning signposting website AtaLoss.org, we run two projects - Loss and HOPE - which runs an online programme that supports bereaved people across the UK and also trains churches to run the course within their communities - and ListeningPeople. This trains professionals to support bereaved young people and children, and runs online throughout the year.

Our service is for people whatever their faith or none, whatever their cultural background, age or location. 

Meet the Team

Yvonne

Yvonne Richmond Tulloch, Founder & Chief Executive

Suddenly widowed in 2008 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. Yvonne is based in Chichester, West Sussex.
