Cruse
Cruse Bereavement Care Scotland exists to provide support to people experiencing grief following a death, working primarily through volunteers, providing free care to bereaved people.
Cruse was founded over 50 years ago in Surrey as a support group for widows. Over the years it grew rapidly opening its doors first to widowers and eventually to anyone who was bereaved. Gradually Cruse developed into a volunteer counselling service. The first branch of Cruse in Scotland opened in the late 1960s and by the mid 90s there were 28 branches north of the border.
