Community Grief Support
The Grief Connection
Making grief less lonely — for everyone. Not just those who can afford support.
The Grief Connection is Jen’s community interest company, bringing free and low-cost grief support, education, and community events to people who need it most.
Community Grief Support shouldn’t depend on what you can afford.
Jen founded The Grief Connection as a Community Interest Company — a not-for-profit organisation that exists to make grief education and peer support accessible to everyone, regardless of income or circumstance.
Funded through grants and partnerships, The Grief Connection delivers workshops, community events, and grief education in local communities, schools, and organisations.
The CIC is closely linked to Jen’s wider work — the corporate and coaching income helps fund and sustain the community mission.
“My mission is to make grief less lonely. Not just for the few — for everyone.”
Jen Brighty, Founder.
