Serpentine Swim: Gemma takes the plunge for WAY
Oct 2025
One chilly morning in September, WAY member Gemma took the plunge for WAY, raising funds with her two childhood friends by taking part in the Serpentine Swim in London.
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.
