Our Services
At Right Beside Me, we support people who have lost someone who died early, helping them feel remembered and cared for after the first year of their grief — a time when loneliness can often feel overwhelming.
Through our website, loved ones can nominate someone to receive a free memorial gift or experience, thoughtfully prepared with a card explaining who it’s from. Alongside the gift, we invite recipients to join our community of bereaved people, where they can connect with others who understand their experience, chat online, and attend events if they wish.
By showing care and connection during this often isolating stage, we hope to ease the sense of ‘life moving on without their person’ and help people feel supported.
Our free monthly meet-ups with tea/coffee and cake we support adults experiencing traumatic loss.
Held in Derby City Centre the first Saturday of each month
Nathan’s Grief Club -for child/young adults to come together in a safe and relaxed place, to talk, play, read and just be themselves with others in a similar situation. This free monthly group is held at Derby Child Contact Centre. Contact us for more information.
Gift Choices
If you have someone in mind and would like to show them you are thinking of them, we will work with local companies to create a thoughtful memorial gift or organise an experience for the loved one you have nominated free of charge.
Tea And Chat
Why not join our local monthly chit-chat group. It can be hard to talk to people who don't always understand the complexity of grief. Our informal drop in sessions may be just what you're after and they're open to anyone who is grieving, not just those nominated for a gift.

To continue our work, we rely on the kind donations of our supporters. If you’re able to support us, whether as a one-off or a regular contribution, every donation truly helps.

Our Story
Right Beside Me was created in memory of Nathan Michael Ashworth, who died aged 27. We honour Nathan by helping people grieving a young loss feel remembered and supported after those initial milestones. Through memorial gifts, cathartic experiences, or wholesome activities, we aim to give grieving people something to remember their loved one by, or a way to connect with their loved ones during a difficult and often lonely time.
