Help Us Make a Difference
The Widowed Collective is a CIC built by the widowed, for the widowed. Every service we offer, from our free support forum to our local events, is powered by the collective dedication of volunteers who truly understand what it means to grieve.
Our collective help us reach and support those who need us. Whether you can give an hour a week or join a long-term project, your time and empathy are the most valuable donations we can receive.
Here are a few ways you can step up and help us strengthen our collective:
Be a Local Advocate & Host Events
You can be the local face of The Widowed Collective in your area. This involves creating real-life connection points for those in your community.
-
Host a Local Meet-up: Organise a simple coffee get-together, a low-key dinner, or a walk in the park. These simple events provide a crucial chance for connection and a reminder that no one is alone.
-
Share Resources: Help us distribute information about our free forum and resources at local community centers, libraries, and grief support groups.
Join Our Core Team
If you’re looking for a sustained way to contribute your professional skills, consider joining our volunteer teams.
-
Marketing & Promotion: Help us craft compelling stories, manage our social media, and get the word out so more people know help is available.
-
Forum Administration: Keep our online safe space running smoothly by moderating discussions, welcoming new members, and ensuring our Code of Conduct is followed.
-
Administrative Support: Help with essential behind-the-scenes tasks like organising documents, managing email correspondence, and streamlining processes.
Become a Board Member
Do you have leadership experience, strategic vision, or expertise in non-profit governance, finance, or fundraising?
We are always looking for passionate individuals to join our Volunteer Board of Directors and guide the long-term mission and growth of the Collective. This is a chance to shape the future of our support network.
Fundraise for Our Mission
We keep our support free, which means we rely entirely on the generosity of our community.
-
Organize a Fundraiser: Host a small event, such as a bake sale, a casual sporting event, or a birthday fundraiser, and dedicate the proceeds to The Widowed Collective.
-
Share Our Appeals: Help amplify our seasonal or campaign fundraising efforts through your network.
