Friday 9th May 10am – 12pm Grief Kind Space session in The Bistro

Here you will find support from trained professionals via our partnership with Sue Ryder, and hear more about support available to anyone who has experienced any kind of loss at any time.

 

There are of course many differences in the ways that cultures and faiths approach and mark death and dying. But at their core, feelings about dying, and our experiences of grief, are universal emotions that we all share, no matter who we are or where we live.

We hope to see you at one of our events during this special week.
