1 Million Minutes 2023

Grief Encounter is proud to announce their continued partnership with ITV Good Morning Britain’s 1 Million Minutes campaign, working to end loneliness and isolation in the UK through the power of volunteering.

 

The Good Morning Britain ‘1 Million Minutes’ campaign is now in its eighth consecutive year, the initiative is asking viewers to pledge time rather than money and has so far seen more than a quarter of a billion minutes donated to charities looking for volunteers to connect with those who feel alone. You can get involved by visiting the GMB website and pledging your time this festive season, to help us end loneliness and isolation for bereaved families.
