Home Visiting is a free service from The Brigitte Trust that matches someone living with a terminal illness in Surrey with a trained volunteer. The same volunteer visits every week, whether that’s for a cup of tea and a chat, help with the shopping, or simply company.

Bereavement Support helps families in Surrey who’ve lost a loved one in our care, with the same volunteer visiting for up to three months after the funeral to offer company and time to remember together. We also run free Bereavement Support groups, open to anyone in Surrey struggling with grief.

Death Cafés are free, informal discussion groups from The Brigitte Trust, open to anyone in Surrey who wants to talk about death and dying without judgement. There’s no set agenda, each session simply follows the interests of those attending.

The Brigitte Trust Presents… is a free series of workshops, each meeting for a Q&A and discussion with an invited speaker such as a funeral director or specialised nurse.

These workshops are open to anyone in Surrey.

Neurological Support is a free, monthly online support group from The Brigitte Trust for anyone in Surrey diagnosed with a neurological condition, including multiple sclerosis (MS), motor neurone disease (MND), multiple system atrophy (MSA), and progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP).

If we’re not able to help, or you’re outside our service area in Surrey, this page lists other organisations who may be better placed to support you, with useful links and contact details for each.

We will soon be offering a range of online and classroom-based training sessions, surrounding the topic of bereavement and grief, as well as a Bereavement First Aider course.
