Raising money for

Cruse Bereavement Care

Charity Registration No. 208078

The loss of a loved one, a parent or a child can be devastating. Cruse provides emotional support, information and practical help for people struggling to cope with bereavement. With 130 branches across England, Wales and Northern Ireland and 5,500 trained volunteers supporting bereaved people, Cruse is the largest and the only organisation providing support to anyone bereaved by death - whoever they are, whatever their age, however or whenever their loved ones died.This year Cruse celebrates its Golden Jubilee. Founded in 1959, it has given support to bereaved people for 50 years - and will continue to be there. We are working hard to promote the work of Cruse and raise funds. Please give generously as we rely on donations to continue our work. You can also support some of our amazing volunteers online here - you’ll see who they are and what they’re doing through the Raise Money link below. Another way you can support Cruse is through our training courses and workshops. Bereavement is a universal experience yet it is frequently overlooked in the working environment and elsewhere. Though grief is a normal experience, unresolved it can affect concentration, ability to work effectively, mental health, relationships and general well being. Our courses - with 50 years of experience behind them - raise awareness in bereavement care and give people skills to support those suffering bereavement. There’s a special website for our jubilee year at www.griefreliefappeal.org.uk

My story

Greetings folks and thanks for your interest in this venture of ours.

It came about because of our frustration with leading desk bound lives surrounded by the London smog, forever envious of those active sorts who take matters into their own hands and push themselves to achieve something.

This summer our motley crew will be attempting to reach the summits of the highest peaks of three great nations, all within just 24 hours, in the famed and feared 3 Peaks Challenge. That's right - after striding up Ben Nevis we expect to take in both Scafell Peak and Snowden for fun. However, the collective level of fitness we are starting from makes the 'challenge' description fully apt!

Better still, with your help we are hoping to raise some serious funds for a wonderful Charity. Cruse Bereavement Care exists to promote the well-being of bereaved people and to enable anyone bereaved by death to understand their grief and cope with their loss. It is the UK's leading specialist bereavement charity with 175 branches and 6,000 volunteers accross the country.

Their work came to our attention because one of our 3 Peaks drivers (Dan's dad) is involved as a trustee and because several of us have seen the difficulties of coping wth bereavement amongst people we know.

Please help us to reach our target and help Cruse to reach more people by making a donation here. No amount is too small.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.
