Offering safe online opportunities for WAY members

September 2025

Thanks to a dedicated team of Online Volunteers, WAY members can seek company and connection with other members, tackling the isolation that grief and young widowhood can bring – without incurring any costs or even needing to leave the house.

WAY’s online Zoom offerings have increased steadily over the past five years – and there’s room for more! See below for what’s currently on offer:

• Twice Weekly New Member Zooms (aimed at members in their first year of bereavement)
• 4 x a Month – WAY Zoom CHAT (open to all WAY members)
• Monthly Sudden Bereavement Zooms (open to members with experience of a sudden bereavement)
• Monthly Bereavement by Suicide (open to members bereaved by suicide)
• Monthly Online Soothing Yoga (open to all WAY members)
• Weekly Quiz (open to all WAY members)
• Weekly Bingo (open to all WAY members)
• Monthly Book Club (open to all WAY members)
• Monthly WOCdown Sunday (for those Widowed Without Children)
• Twice Monthly Thursday Coffee Morning Zoom (open to all WAY members)

WAY listens to feedback and, where possible, with the support of volunteers, we do our best to respond to members’ requests, which is why there is now such a varied number of online events available – offering safe spaces for members to connect for different purposes and for different subgroups of the WAY community. 

If you feel that you might be interested in offering a regular online space for WAY members, around a particular topic/bereavement or interest/hobby, please do reach out to our National Volunteer Manager veronica.currie@widowedandyoung.org.uk to discuss your ideas and how to access WAY’s (free to use) Volunteer Zoom account. 

Peer support, community and connection are everything that WAY is about!
