Take Our Hand

Who we are

Take Our Hand is a national charity (1176795) supporting young people aged 16-25, their families and friends through bereavement. This is done through providing alternatives to counselling, offering a face to face and online support group and through connecting individuals to other charities and services that can support them. Take Our Hand has partnered with a wide range of businesses and charities that can offer support through alternative therapies such as Eye Movement Desensitisation and reprocessing therapy (EMDR) and activities such as art, drama and omusic.

Take Our Hand was founded by Alexandra Gough after she lost her boyfriend in 2011. She had never lost anyone before and was in her first year of university. Alex never received the support she needed so setup Take Our Hand to ensure others got the support they needed. 

We are a small and very friendly team looking for others who can join us at the begining of our journey to support young people across England.
