Cruse Scotland is the nation’s expert in bereavement counselling, listening services, information, advice and training. We aim to create a compassionate country where grief is properly discussed, understood and supported.

Our incredible counselling and helpline volunteers are at the core of Cruse Scotland, making it the kind, knowledgeable, respectful and committed organisation that it is. They are supported by a small but passionate staff team and a competent, diverse Board of Trustees.

Cruse Scotland is delighted to work closely with other charities, local authorities, academics, the NHS and COSCA, to ensure the highest standard of bereavement care and project a united voice, to advocate on behalf of Scotland’s bereaved.

We feel privileged hearing the stories of our brave clients and dedicated volunteers. They make us proud to work with, and alongside, them every day.
