Hope Again is the youth website of Cruse Bereavement Support. It has been created for young people, by young people. We offer support, advice and a type of signposting service, solely online to children and young people who have lost a loved one/s. We want to break the isolation that grief brings, by providing a space for young people to explore their grief and feel less alone.
Cruse is a national charity within the UK that provides support, advice and information to children, young people and adults when someone close to them dies. We also work to enhance society’s care of bereaved people.

Someone to turn to for young people
At Cruse we can offer a safe, youth friendly space where young people can work through their grief in their own time and own way accompanied by a trained and experienced volunteer who will work individually with the young person over a period of 6-8 weekly sessions.
During the Covid-19 pandemic, Cruse began to offer support sessions virtually via phone call or Zoom. This allowed us to continuing supporting people when they needed it most and therefore we decided to keep these options in place. For more information, please contact your local Cruse office through the link above or call the free Cruse helpline on: 0808 808 1677.
