Loss and Hope is the church-focused project of the bereavement charity AtaLoss
Our goal is to equip UK churches and Christians of every denomination to reach out to their communities in bereavement support for social transformation, wellbeing and mission.
Join us for a special evensong at St Paul’s Cathedral
Friday 30th October 2026, 5pm
This reflective service will bring together church and community leaders, congregation members, bereavement services, dignitaries and public figures. Through music, readings and prayer, we will mark 10 years of AtaLoss, remember loved ones who have died and launch a new Bereavement Matters Season.

We are asking churches to consider how they might become more accessible and welcoming to people who have been bereaved, and invite them to aim towards our 12 marks of a Bereavement Friendly Church.
Bereavement Friendly Church
The Bereavement Journey® support
We are encouraging churches across the UK to offer The Bereavement Journey® programme to their communities, to provide structured, volunteer-led peer group support, enabling adults bereaved recently or long ago to find healing and hope.
The Bereavement Journey® - Changing Lives Across the UK
A new evaluation shows how The Bereavement Journey®, with accompanying signposting by AtaLoss, and delivered by Christians in communities across the UK, is helping thousands of people face life after bereavement – improving wellbeing, reducing loneliness and building resilience.
