We have recently launched a new Wednesday evening Cafe, to run alongside our regular Sunday Moving Forward Cafes.
Do you want to meet others who are grieving?
Do you feel a bit lost and alone in your grief?
We would love you to join our regular Virtual Good Grief Cafes.
Our Cafes are run via Zoom, from the comfort of your own home.
Pop along anytime, and chat online to those who are bereaved, to know you are not alone and that others understand.
To register for our Cafe Membership, pls email [email protected]
You will be sent a calendar of dates for all our Cafes and we look forward to meeting you soon.
All welcome 🧡☂️🍰☕️

In 2024, no family should have to face dementia alone – but thousands are being left with no support. This just isn’t right.

Policies should respond to the increasing concentration of older people outside large towns.
We need an expansion of NHS and social care services, and suitable housing, transport and public spaces for older people in these areas. (3/5)

“Dementia has taken over my life for the past 10 years. I wanted my mum to live at home for as long as possible and I tried to make that happen.
“As her dementia progressed, it was getting more difficult to keep her safe.”
