Cruse in Kirklees has been supporting people affected by bereavement for nine years. We are all volunteers. Our main funding has come from the Local Authority and Health Services. They have told us this week that we will not receive the funding we anticipated for this year. Our rent is paid to 30th September and beyond that we can't afford to remain there.

We use our office for responding to requests for telephone help, seeing clients, recruiting and supporting our volunteers and for meetings. Without it we will find it difficult to respond to the 300-400 people in Kirklees each year who come to us for help. We are currently working with over 100 people and want to continue to do so.

We are having to make emergency arrangements to move or find other funds. We want to continue our work and can only do so with help from others. £5k will keep us operating for three months whilst we get other funding in place. Please support us if you can.
