A charity that helps people affected by bereavement has found a new home.

The Gina Spence Programme has moved its head office to the Bermudiana Arcade in the heart of Hamilton with the help of renovations charity Habitat for Humanity of Bermuda.

The newly renovated venue will offer a centralised, purpose-built therapeutic environment for grief and loss support — a crucial step forward in the programme’s mission to provide accessible, affordable services for those navigating grief and loss.

Gina Spence, the founder of GSP and a grief recovery specialist, said: “This move represents more than just a new address.

“It’s a renewed commitment to healing hearts and transforming lives in the community we serve.”

Mykiee Jones, the executive director of the charity, added: “Being centrally located allows us to reach more individuals and families in need, and the space now truly reflects the compassionate, high-quality care our team is committed to delivering.”

Along with support from Habitat For Humanity, GSP was helped by hardware retailer SAL and Joshua Bate Trading to construct a custom-designed clinical hub offering a safe and specialised setting for individual and group services.

In a statement, the charity said: “The move comes just two months after GSP hosted Bermuda’s first-ever grief and loss awareness day, an island-wide initiative held on the first Friday of March.

“The event, held at City Hall, brought together mental health professionals, community partners and grieving families for a powerful day of remembrance, healing and public education — emphasising the reality that everyone has experienced some form of grief and loss.

“The new GSP headquarters serves as an extension of this momentum, offering greater opportunities for collaboration, education and clinical care under one roof.

“The Gina Spence Programme extends heartfelt gratitude to everyone who contributed — from sponsors and donors to construction volunteers and community advocates.

“Your support has created a physical space where hope and healing can flourish.”
