The Loss Project works across the UK and beyond connecting people in local communities through the universal experiences of grief, loss, death, dying or trauma.
We know that losses come in various forms; including the loss of independence, confidence, jobs, relationships and of course, of loved ones. We’re on a mission to reimagine traditional services, to challenge the status quo and to provide life affirming programmes that gives people the tools and confidence to support themselves and their communities.
Through creative community programmes, training, workshops and social action The Loss Project supports organisations and communities to become more open and connected.
We’re facilitators, connectors, and collaborators. We believe that a collective approach to these issues, can help to transform a better connected, and more resilient society.
