The Loss Foundation - London

Our charity has been providing free support groups around London for people who have lost their loved ones to cancer since early 2011. The aim of the support groups is to create regular spaces for people to share stories and experiences with others who have experienced a similar kind of loss. We run open self-help support groups. That might sound like a bit of a mouthful, but it basically means that people can attend our groups as and when they need to rather than having to sign up to a certain number of sessions.
