Blue Cross
Blue Cross is an animal welfare charity which has been in existence since 1897. One of their services is the pet bereavement support service. PBBS is over 27 years old and offers free support for all types of pet loss, via phone, email or webchat.
Our work in suicide prevention
The Blue Cross support service has a safeguarding policy and robust procedure in place to support those who contact us, and for those who work within the service. It is important to us that people understand that pet loss and bereavement, can affect people in many ways, we all grieve differently. We offer support to everyone who contacts us and where appropriate we signpost them to other services. Whilst we are an impartial and a confidential service, we will always ensure the welfare of the individual, if they are vulnerable, is dealt with in a supportive and appropriate way.
Our current priorities
Current priorities are to support anyone who contacts us and is then found to be vulnerable, or in need of additional support and sign posting, whilst maintaining a high level of support to all who volunteer, work or contact the service.
Our current challenges
Increased contact from vulnerable people during the past year.
