Restoring hope to the bereaved
Welcome to Cruse Oxfordshire - part of the national charity, Cruse Bereavement Care. We are here to help anyone in Oxfordshire deal with the pain of grief.
Family and friends can be good people to talk to but, for many reasons, you might want to find another sympathetic ear. Our Bereavement Support Volunteers (BSVs) have experience of helping people through grieving; they have been trained to listen and help you work your way through the emotional work of grief.
You may find that just one meeting with a BSV – in our office or in your home – may be all you need. However, the service is available for as long as you need it. It is free of charge, although we are a charity and donations are greatly appreciated.

Who we areOxfordshire Cruse was founded in 1969 and is part of the national Cruse Bereavement Care charity.
Staffed almost entirely by volunteers, Cruse was launched to meet the needs of those suffering from the effects of grief caused by the death of someone. Cruse is a national organisation, but local branches are responsible for their own organisation and funding. |
We can help youBereavement comes in many forms, it may be sudden or expected.
Are you finding it difficult to deal with all the feelings and problems triggered by bereavement? Would you like to talk, in total confidence, to a professionally trained supporter who is there to listen to you? Would you like to meet other people who have been in similar situations? |
We need your helpOxfordshire Cruse continues to exist because of the support from ordinary people, just like you.
Unlike some charities, Oxfordshire Cruse offers a service that we all may need at some point in our lives. We are lucky to have the support of many volunteers, but we need vital funds to deliver our service to people struggling with the effects of bereavement.
