National Grief Awareness week 2-8 December 2023

National Grief Awareness Week – 2–8 December 2023

2 to 8 December 2023 is National Grief Awareness week, led by the Good Grief Trust. This year National Grief Awareness week is about connecting with our communities through shared events because:

People don’t know what services are out there

Gaps in what providers know about each other’s services

We are not utilising the community grassroots network

One event to highlight is a ‘Bereavement Café’ being held on Thursday 7 December, 10am to midday at Peterstone Lakes Golf Club. Peterstone Lakes Golf Club | Golf, Weddings, Meetings & Events

They’d love other bereavement organisations to be involved in this opportunity either by simply attending or bringing a small stall/display with them. Everyone is welcome – staff, volunteers, and service users themselves. Let’s bring people together so everyone knows that they are now alone.

It’ll be a lovely morning of networking over coffee and allowing those who are bereaved to see what services are available to them.

If anyone would like a stand, please email Jane.Powell@2wish.org.uk and she’ll add you to list. If you would like to attend, feel free to let Jane know but you are welcome just to come along on the day.
