Trustee Jo Sedley-Burke named as new WAY Chair
Jul 2021
We are delighted to announce that Trustee Jo Sedley-Burke has been named the new Chair of WAY Widowed and Young.
WAY is the only national charity in the UK for people aged 50 or under when their partner died.
It’s a club that nobody wants to be eligible to join, but we are so glad that our members find us. We are a place for people who have experienced an untimely loss to understand and have compassion for those experiencing the same. Quite simply, to be able to say: “I know”.
Our service offers a peer-to-peer support group operating with a network of volunteers who have been bereaved at a young age themselves, so they understand exactly what other members are going through.
