Registration

****COVID – 19: FACING THE FUTURE GROUPS POSTPONED****  Due to the recent developments regarding the COVID – 19 virus, we are sad to announce that all Facing the Future group sessions are now postponed until further notice. As advertised sessions will need to be rescheduled, with priority given to those who are already part way through their group sessions and those who were due to start groups in the coming weeks, we have taken the decision to close registration for new applicants at this time.  Once we are able to safely run groups again, and have allocated spaces to those affected by these postponements, we will start to take registrations of interest again. To ensure that you are made aware when registrations are open, please keep an eye on Samaritans’ and Cruse Bereavement Care’s social media channels, detailed below.  Samaritans Twitter: www.twitter.com/samaritans Facebook: www.facebook.com/samaritanscharity Cruse Bereavement Care Twitter: www.twitter.com/CruseCare Facebook: www.facebook.com/crusebereavementcare In the meantime, should you require immediate emotional support, then please contact either Samaritans’ or Cruse Bereavement Care’s free to call helplines: Samaritans free to call number 116 123 is for people who are struggling to cope.
