Our Networks
We currently facilitate two Leeds citywide bereavement networks. If your organisation would like to join either group please contact us. For more details, please see below:
1. Leeds Citywide Bereavement Services Forum
Leeds Bereavement Forum chairs and facilitates Leeds Citywide Bereavement Services Forum which has been running since 2015 . The Forum is made up of third sector and statutory bereavement organisations across Leeds who provide support to adults, children and young people. The group currently meets three times a year to share good practice; work in partnership and identify any gaps in bereavement provision across the city. We meet both in person and online.
