At Brunel Engraving, we are proud to support The Good Grief Trust and their inspiring Sit With Hope initiative. Launched at The Royal Windsor Flower Show in June 2023, this national campaign is designed to raise awareness of bereavement services across the UK, providing vital signposting to support those in need.
Grief can be an overwhelming and complex experience but finding help should be straightforward. The Good Grief Trust brings together over 1,000 charities and local and national bereavement services under one umbrella, offering a lifeline to anyone struggling to navigate the difficult journey of loss. The Sit With Hope campaign aims to make these resources even more accessible, particularly for those who may not know where to turn.
As part of this initiative, specially designed plaques featuring a QR code have been placed on benches and seats in communities across the UK. Whether it’s in a park, an urban space, hospital garden, or a scenic beach walk, these plaques serve as a direct link to The Good Grief Trust’s website, where individuals can find tailored advice and support in one place.
Patron Dame Penelope Wilton DBE, CEO and Founder Linda Magistris & Ambassador Greg Wise.
At Brunel Engraving, we’ve had the privilege of creating these plaques, engraving each one with precision and care. We craft them from brushed gold impact acrylic, a durable and elegant material ideal for outdoor environments. The QR codes are prominently displayed, providing an easy way for anyone to scan and be guided to the support they need.
In our latest video below, you can watch the engraving process in action, from the initial stages to the final product. We take great pride in being part of this meaningful project, knowing that each plaque placed across the UK has the potential to bring comfort and hope to those grieving.
At Brunel Engraving, we understand the importance of memorials and engraved items in times of loss. This project aligns with our values, as we strive to help individuals and communities honour their loved ones in thoughtful and lasting ways. By working with The Good Grief Trust, we are doing our part to support their incredible mission of making bereavement services more visible and accessible to all.
