Events
Alongside supporting families, we’re passionate about creating a space where people can feel comfortable talking about death, dying and grief, without it feeling overwhelming or intimidating.
We host a range of events including relaxed talks, creative workshops, crafting sessions and arts-based activities designed to gently open up conversation and bring people together. Some events explore grief, loss and planning ahead, while others are simply about creativity, connection and spending time with other people.
Whether you’re looking for support, curious to learn more, or just fancy coming along for a chat and a brew, you’re always welcome.
