Over 60 volunteers attended their Annual Conference, delighted to have such an excellent opportunity and a chance to celebrate all the charity does to support people at a very vulnerable time in their lives. West Sussex High Sheriff Mark Spofforth OBE also attended, along with representatives of many community organisations interested in bereavement care. In his Chairman’s Report, Michael Milligan, Area Chair of Cruse West Sussex Area, said how important it was to provide high calibre training to its workforce. “This is a special day for us to be inspired, encouraged and informed; the Area has supported a record number of bereaved people this year and it is vital that our volunteers feel supported too, having exciting opportunities to learn and time to reflect on all that has been achieved.”
