Ashfield Voluntary Action will be closed on Monday 19th September to mark the funeral of Her late Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II.

We would like to express our heartfelt condolences to King Charles III, The Royal Family and anyone affected by the passing of our late Queen. As well as the grief we may be feeling at the loss of a monarch who has served the United Kingdom with such dignity and dedication for seven decades, this loss and period of mourning may also highlight our own personal losses. 

The Cabinet Office has published a guide to provide the public, businesses and institutions with an explanation of national mourning which may be found HERE. The site also offers practical advice on how you or your organisation may wish to observe public mourning during this period.

The Cruse website has excellent information and support for those experiencing grief, including a helpline available throughout this period of national mourning. Please click HERE to visit their site.
