Join us for our free Grief Support Group, held every second month - a compassionate space for anyone navigating the loss of a loved one. As we approach a time of year when their absence can feel especially heavy, we’ll come together for a meaningful creative activity: making Christmas tree decorations in their honour. You’re invited to write your loved one’s name and personalise your decoration with colours, symbols, or words that hold special meaning. This gentle, hands-on activity offers a calming way to express emotions, remember, and reflect. No experience is needed - just come as you are and share the space with others who understand.
