Thames valley air ambulance partners for bereaved
The emergency response charity is teaming up with a bereavement charity
Last updated 2nd Sep 2024
A new charity partnership has been formed to help bereaved families in Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire.
The Thames Valley air ambulance has formalised its links with Child Bereavement UK.
The partnership will offer a lifeline to grieving families when their lives have been turned upside down. A memorandum of understanding has been signed between the two local charities, agreeing a joined-up approach to supporting families during tough times.
Relationship
Adam Crosby, Head of Aftercare at Thames Valley Air Ambulance, said:
“Our crews treat the most seriously ill and injured people across the region, and we meet families on possibly the worst day of their lives. But our care extends beyond that day, as we help them to process what has happened and support them as they deal with trauma and loss in the weeks, months, and years to come.
“This new partnership with Child Bereavement UK formalises an already strong relationship between our charities. By teaming up in this way, we can share research and resources so that we can provide the best possible support to families when they need us most.”
Partner
Maninder Hayre, Director of Services and Partnerships at Child Bereavement UK, said:
“We’re pleased to partner with Thames Valley Air Ambulance to raise awareness of both services, sharing knowledge and expertise so that grieving families are able to access the support they need, when they need it.”
