A CHARITY is appealing for volunteers to help support people who are mourning the loss of a loved one.

The Bereavement Centre for the Borough of Bromley is asking residents who can spare an hour a week to comfort grieving people to get in touch.

Vickie Reed, volunteer co-ordinator for the charity based in Orpington High Street, said: “We are urgently seeking volunteers who have an hour or so a week to give support to our clients.

“An information session will be running this month for potential new volunteers.”

To volunteer, or for more information, call the centre on 01689 898979.
