EXPANSION We are approached by the Coroners wishing to set up a support service within their area We recently attended the Coroners’ Society Conference and received an overwhelming response For us, this means the process of advertising, recruiting, inducting and training volunteers The induction process takes about 4 months
FUNDRAISING Did you know that it costs the CCSS approximately £ 200 per volunteer - to recruit, induct, train and to provide on-going support to each of our Volunteers? We would like to expand our Service to provide a National Service as well as a Telephone Helpline for bereaved families, witnesses and other professionals
