About us

WAY offers support and friendship to young bereaved people, whatever their circumstances, however long ago their partner died. We help men and women widowed under 50, parents and those without children.

We aim to provide a social and support network to help young widows and widowers rebuild their lives after they've been shattered by the death of a partner. Members' children are an important part of the organisation and we welcome them too.

We offer the following practical support to all members:

• a list of all local members with contact details 
• a regular newsletter
• local social activities in most regions for adults, children and families
• a secure, online message board and chatroom for members only
• weekend trips and holidays across the UK
• information on other organisations and counselling groups
• helpful books available to borrow
• AGM held in different parts of the country each year
