| On October 21, 2019, Queen Elizabeth II, as Patron of Cruse Bereavement Care, attended a reception held at St James's Palace in London to commemorate the 60th anniversary of Cruse Bereavement Care. Cruse Care offers free bereavement support, advice and information through a network of nearly 5,000 volunteers. Cruse Bereavement Care was founded in 1959 as the Cruse Clubs Counselling Service for Widows and their Families, run by a small band of dedicated volunteers. |
