Having become double-winners for our co-designed and co-delivered Loss and Bereavement Training for ARC England in conjunction with MacIntyre, Jess Hiles, Nicola Payne and myself have loved being back together to deliver this training three times during October 2024. We began by delivering it in-house for MacIntyre staff before providing a closed-session for one of ARC England’s social care clients and a further ARC England open-access session for anyone working in social care.

We’ve had some fantastic feedback, including:

“Really great to take time out to discuss such an important subject. Great session.”

“It was great very informative & sensitively done.”

“Training with someone with lived experience, not about them, is much better.”

“Really found this course useful.”

“I found the discussions that we had about our own experiences useful. Lots of resources given too. Trainers were excellent.”

“It was an amazing training delivered perfectly. Thank you.”

“Thank you for this, please keep up the fantastic work!”

“Really useful workshop, I think we will definitely be using the links and resources discussed today. Thank you.”

“Especially to Jess; your confidence shines, thank you for sharing with us all today. Thank you too to Beth and Nicola, it’s been great.”
