Volunteer Counsellor Disability - Physical, Mental Health, Mentoring, Older people The Widows Empowerment Trust’s mission against loneliness needs your help!

Widows are at a significantly increased risk of developing negative health effects following a bereavement, including a higher risk of stroke, cardiovascular disease and early mortality. To combat this, The Widows Empowerment Trust offers befriending services, wellbeing workshops and a range of projects to support people living in Manchester who have suffered a significant loss. Majority of our service users are over the age of 50 which can exacerbate the detrimental effect that grief can have on physical and emotional wellbeing. Many experiencing bereavement can lose a sense of community and the motivation to invest in their health.
