SAMM National Support for people bereaved by murder and manslaughter

SAMM provides a wide range of peer support services to people bereaved by murder and manslaughter. Our services are open to everyone regardless of how long ago they were bereaved

We support close relatives as well as wider family members, friends, work colleagues etc. As a national charity our support services cover England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.

We are independent and therefore not affiliated to any other charity where the SAMM name has been used.

Our unique support services have been designed by the bereaved for the bereaved to meet a persons’ emotional support needs. All volunteers receive bespoke training and have been bereaved through homicide themselves. They have a unique understanding of what it’s like to be traumatically bereaved.
