Aims and Objectives

The Cross Group would not describe themselves as a 'reconciliation group' in the manner that other groups are specifically known. The Cross Group provides a shoulder to lean on for bereaved families. Knowing that others who have suffered a similar tragedy have the same feelings, reactions and difficulties, is of great help and support. If the bereaved can be reconciled with each other, surely it is not too much to ask the wider community to be reconciled.

Projects and Activities

The group has no formal structure and does not try to be more than a group of friends. It meets on a monthly basis and also organises annual holidays and occasional group meals.
