About the host organisation
Hosted by: Oldham Bereavement Support Service
Organisation Profile: The Oldham Bereavement Support Service has been in existence since 1988. Reverend David Hirst who was the Vicar of Christ Church, Friezland began what ultimately became O.B.S.S. He set about forming a parish bereavement visiting team. Other parishes in Saddleworth caught the idea and wanted to join and it became Saddleworth Bereavement Visiting Team. All were volunteers and church members and training was given in Christ Church Parish Hall.
