New Bereavement Support Helpline from Mountbatten

Mountbatten Isle of Wight is opening a new Bereavement Support Helpline available to all those across the Isle of Wight who have been bereaved. As part of the psychology and bereavement service provided by Mountbatten, trained and supported volunteers will be offering a listening ear to those who are bereaved and anyone who feels they would want to talk to someone.
Bereavement Support Helpline

It is very natural to feel confused and bewildered by bereavement and grief. Are you in need of a friendly voice? Someone to talk to. Call the Mountbatten Bereavement Support Helpline.

The High Sheriff was impressed by the calibre of the three recipients - Solomon Wells, Thea Ricketts and Harrison Burnett.
