Partnership in the Public Sector

Serving the Public Is What You Do. It’s Why We Both Exist.

Our unique bereavement signposting website - www.ataloss.org – aims to provide the full range of support services and information, providing holistic support for wellbeing and adding value to what you do. See our gold standard for signposting here.

In addition, partnering enables a bespoke arrangement for mutual benefit, including the possibility of:

The provision of hard copy leaflets and information for your service users.
Employee awareness and training for enhanced client, patient and colleague support, and self-care.
Collaboration to ensure bereaved people have community support, taking pressure off public and health services.
Signposting collaboration
Demonstration of your commitment to Corporate Social Responsibility for the community you serve.

What About Your Workforce?

Bereavement also affects your workforce.

Sadly, few organisations have the skills and expertise to support a colleague when they are bereaved and there can be significant repercussions.

A bereaved member of staff or volunteer may:

Need time off or changes to their work patterns to deal with the practicalities of their new life
Experience emotional ups and downs, overwhelming them at unexpected moments, affecting staff relationships and dynamics.
Be unable to perform as they did before their bereavement.
Experience depression or long-term mental or physical ill health.

Without understanding and support, bereavement can result in significant costs, not only to the NHS but also to your organisation in staff loss and reduced productivity.

How Can We Help?

Partnership with AtaLoss can help your staff and volunteers get timely support and help you reduce the negative impact of bereavement in your workplace. In addition to signposting to AtaLoss.org - our free website of bereavement services and information - we can support you to incorporate bereavement support and well-being into your plans and systems so that you can promote your organisation as a bereavement friendly organisation.

We ask Public Sector Partners to consider making an annual sponsorship donation of £1,000 or more in recognition of our free-to-access signposting website.

You get your logo and a link to your website on our dedicated commercial partner page. With over 250k page views of our website this gives your organisation profile and an opportunity to be found by users of our website.
You can also have an organisational fundraising page to which employees can add photos and comments alongside reporting funds raised, giving you even more profile.

Being an AtaLoss Sponsor offers you opportunities for team building and of raising your profile as an organisation committed to social responsibility.
