The Dove Service

Call Directions Website

The Dove Service We offer counselling, training & support for anyone affected by grief through bereavement, significant loss or life-changing illness.

Based in Stoke-on-Trent, we can offer services further afield and deliver support face-to-face, by telephone or online. Death and loss are so often sanitised or avoided in today's society, but the work we do is vital as death and loss inevitably touch each and every one of our lives. Sometimes when illness or bereavement occurs it can seem almost impossible to move on. WE CAN HELP PEOPLE MOVE FORWARD WITH HOPE. We work with individual adults, children, young people, couples, families, part families and people of all abilities. Anyone can benefit from our services, when and where needed. We have specific projects tailored to the needs of children, young people and those with learning disabilities. We also conduct research into loss and are at the forefront of new techniques to help people address loss. Last year we provided 11,500 counselling sessions to 1,963 clients but there are many more people who we could help. Much of our work is funded but there are significant numbers of people who our funding does not allow us to reach, particularly children in the 4-10 age group.

🩵Baby Loss Awareness Week🩷

Remembering every baby, every family supported, and every loss matters.

Behind every loss is a story. A baby who was loved, and a future that was imagined, and a family who carries that love, often through grief that others cannot see.

We recognise that no two journeys of grief are the same. There is no timeline for grief, and no right or wrong way to remember, and no need to face loss alone.

🕊️ No baby forgotten 🕊️

As Grief out Loud ends today, we want to take a moment to reflect on what has been a meaningful project…

Being able to provide that bereavement and loss support to people in their communities is something we’re incredibly proud of.

🕊️ Thank you to everyone who contributed to its success. 🕊️

💜World Su***de Prevention Day, 10th September

Today is a reminder that every life matters, every story matters, and no one should feel they have to face their darkest moments alone.

One conversation can make a difference.

Let’s break the silence around su***de. Let’s talk openly, listen without judgement, check in on the people we care about, and remind each other that it’s okay not to be okay and it’s okay to ask for help.

If you or someone you know is struggling, please reach out to someone you trust or a professional source of support. You don’t have to go through it alone. 💜

Supporting Care Across Our Community

Last month we were proud to support The Dove Service, who offer counselling, bereavement groups and social support groups to families across our area. Their work is an invaluable lifeline for so many whilst they navigate their loss. We were pleased to welcome members of their team to our Crewe offices last week, where they received a charitable donation raised through the sales of our Memorial Care Packs throughout June.

Oxley’s, trusted by generations, guided by kindness.
