Word of the day is ‘recrudescence’ (17th century): the return of something terrible after a time of reprieve.

I've been working on this campaign and so far we've already had 3,000 people sign our petition. Please add your name!

[Marie Curie @mariecurieuk]

"Sadmin" can be very distressing in what is already a very difficult time.

📢 Companies need to act now to #MakeSadminSimple for dying people and those going through grief.

“It is OK to feel angry or sad, don’t pressure children to be happy” Paige McCarthy at #BereavementEd One in every 29 children will lose a parent, carer or sibling - one in every primary school classroom. @StMarysU @AnnaLiseGordon @winstonswish

[Dr Pen Mendonca @MendoncaPen]

“If we don’t talk about death & dying in the classroom, how will children, young people & teaching staff build the confidence & skills they need to have these conversations when we really need to” @JennyFog #bereavementEd @YourStMarys

[Jodie Crooks @JodieCrooks_]

Excited to share that our paper evaluating bereavement training for teachers as part of @MarieCurieNI #SchoolBereavementProgramme is now live. Findings indicate it is essential that teaching staff are equipped to recognise and support grief in pupils.

Our new research, conducted in partnership with @MCPCRCCardiff, found strong support among the public and parents for including grief education in school curriculums – a key recommendation of the @theUKCB. Read the report here➡️ https://t.co/YNen4OtQgK

So glad to hear this great news about the Campaign continuing and pleased to see it's in such capable hands. Good Luck to the new team!

[Campaign to End Loneliness @EndLonelinessUK]

Great news! The Campaign to End Loneliness is back and under management of a new team!

Professor Andrea Wigfield and Associate Professor Antonia Ypsilanti of the Centre for Loneliness Studies at Sheffield Hallam University have taken over the Campaign from the previous team as co-directors.

They bring with them years of experience and expertise of research in the field of loneliness.

Andrea is a leading researcher on loneliness and social isolation, specialising in the wider health and social determinants and implications through research, programme evaluation, and evidence-based policy and practice. She has managed around over 100 research projects, many co-produced with organisations and individuals. She is committed to producing research which can translate into policy and practice change.

Antonia is a behavioural scientist and leading researcher on loneliness and mental health outcomes. She is particularly interested in how people with different loneliness experiences perceive, interpret, and interact with their social environment. She is collaborating closely with community groups at-risk for socio-economic exclusion and with organisations interested in tackling loneliness, and promoting social welfare and mental health. Antonia has rich experience in leading or co-leading research grants funded by the European Commission, Age UK, and the Youth Endowment Fund. She is also an active member in her community engaging in a lot of charitable and social welfare activities.

-----------------

As a team we’re in the process of establishing a new Advisory Board and a PPIE group of people with lived experience of loneliness to guide our work. If you are interested in either please contact us. We will soon be back with regular posts, newsletters, and information to help continue the Campaign to End Loneliness.

Don’t forget to sign up for our newsletter by following the link to our website in the bio.

HCA role within pall care at home is undervalued and unrecognised. @daire_lawlor created this beautiful piece which we hope will help to raise the awareness of multifaceted role of HCA. @EAPCvzw #EAPC2024 @UkNAHH @AIIHPC_ECRF @MarieCurieEOLC @theRCN

[Kellie Payne @chiaussieuk]

It's been a pleasure working with Alison and Gail on this important issue

[ChildhoodBereavement @CBNtweets]

After 20 years of campaigning, we’re pleased to see grief education included in the draft #RSE guidance published today @educationgovuk

@DeviRSagar Well done!

[Hospice UK @hospiceuk]

📣 The debate on hospice funding has been rescheduled for Monday 22nd April.

We need to see as many MPs as possible there to talk about this important topic, and what needs to be done to ensure hospices are well supported now and long into the future.

Whoever forms the next government will be leading a country in which improvements in life expectancy have stalled and where the health of the poorest communities has got worse. This undermines the economy, public services and our health and wellbeing. https://t.co/q4fKsihpbD
