Widowed to COVID-19

We have noticed an uplift in the number of people signing our petition over the past couple of months, and we'd like to thank you for your continued support.

We can't imagine what people are going through who have lost a close family member to this awful virus and we feel that having proper paid leave to grieve from work, even if you're working from home, is so important.

Although two weeks might not seem a great deal of time, making this statutory will mean that everyone grieving the loss of their husband, wife or life partner will have a basic level of financial support, taking away an initial worry of having to take unpaid time off work.

We have created lots of free information, a Lockdown ebook, and blogs on our website to help with the emotional side of your loss. We're also committed to help you be heard by the government, so that they can support your employer financially with your leave to grieve.
