A weekly drop-in session offering support to people who have lost loved ones is set to begin in Bradford.

The Sue Ryder Grief Kind Space will open its doors at Baildon Rugby and Cricket Club this week, becoming the eighth of its kind in Yorkshire run by the charity.

The free sessions, which do not require booking, are open to adults who have experienced bereavement of any kind at any time in their lives, Sue Ryder said.

It will run every Thursday for two hours starting at 10:00 GMT.

Tracy Brierley, regional coordinator for the charity, said: “Our Grief Kind spaces are welcoming, inclusive and open to anyone over the age of 18 who has experienced any type of bereavement at any time.

“Whether you want to attend regularly to connect with others in similar situations, or come in for a quick chat, you will receive a warm welcome.”

If you have been affected by bereavement, help and support is also available on BBC action line.

The charity has also called on volunteers as more bereavement spaces open across the region, with no prior experience required.

“All of our sessions take place in the community with the help of trained volunteers and we are looking for more people to join the team in Baildon, Bradford, Skipton and Bingley,” Ms Brierley said.
