Support & Listening Service
A safe space where individuals can openly share their feelings and experiences of loss, and receive empathetic support from others who understand their journey.
One to One Listening
We recognise the healing power of being heard and understood, which is why we provide dedicated one-on-one listening sessions.
Supporting Schools
Grief can be particularly challenging for children and young adults to comprehend and handle. At The Bereavement Café, we offer support to local schools seeking to help their students navigate through the difficult process of grieving.
We provide practical strategies, resource recommendations, and understanding to help educators and school administrators provide a supportive environment for students coping with loss. Our aim is to equip the next generation with the tools they need to process grief in a healthy and constructive way.
Fresh Coffee & a Chat
Compassionate Peer Support
The Bereavement Café offers a safe, welcoming space where people can talk openly about grief without pressure, judgement or expectation.
We are not a counselling service. Our facilitators and volunteers are trained in grief awareness and bereavement support, alongside bringing their own lived understanding of loss. This helps create real conversations, human connection and a space where people feel heard, understood and less alone.
Some people attend to talk.
Others simply come to listen or sit alongside people who understand.
Both are equally welcome here.
