WAY Widowed and Young
Non-profit Organizations
We are a national UK charity that supports people who’ve been widowed before their 51st birthday
About us
WAY aims to support young widowed men and women as they adjust to life after the death of their partner – whether that was a month, a year, or ten years ago. The charity was founded in 1997 and now has more than 4,600 members across England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. We have a members-only area on our website where people can chat on forums in a safe and understanding environment. We also have lively social groups that meet up throughout the year – for drinks, meals out, walks and picnics. We organise weekends away for adults and families, go camping, have parties and offer an alternative social life that does not revolve around couples. All our groups are run by volunteers who are WAY members, which means everyone you meet in WAY will understand something about what you’ve been through. Despite our grief, WAY members do know how to laugh and have fun. Supporting each other is a great way to learn to live again after the trauma of watching a loved one die.
