Who we are:

Losing a life partner at any age has a severe impact on well-being. At the Widows Empowerment Trust, we strive to counteract loneliness, social isolation, and loss of confidence in widows and widowers through our work. We promote social inclusion in the lives of anyone that has experienced bereavement.
