    Brief

    Blackburn with Darwen Borough Council is seeking a provider to deliver a Community Bereavement Support Service for Adults. This service will offer low-level emotional and practical support to adults aged 18 and over who are experiencing bereavement. The service aims to reduce stigma around grief, support healthy grieving processes, and prevent escalation of distress through early intervention. Key objectives include: helping individuals adjust to life after loss and rebuild confidence and independence; addressing social, emotional, and practical needs of bereaved adults; preventing mental health deterioration and reducing demand on health and social care services; strengthening collaboration and partnership working between local bereavement services; and developing a volunteer programme that enables adults with lived experience of bereavement to provide peer support to others. The service will integrate with the existing Children, Young People and Families Bereavement Service and contribute to the council's Public Mental Wellbeing Programme, ensuring comprehensive bereavement support across all age groups. This is a direct award, light touch contract opportunity.
