The Compassionate Friends (TCF) is a charitable organisation of bereaved parents, siblings and grandparents dedicated to the support and care of other similarly bereaved family members who have suffered the death of a child or children of any age and from any cause.
This supportive day is especially for those parents who are in the first five years of bereavement or have not attended a TCF support day before. This will be a unique opportunity to be together in a safe place to hear from and share with others who have experienced the loss of a child.
Come and meet with others who understand the pain of early grief, and immerse yourself in the comfort and warmth of a dedicated team of bereaved parent volunteers. This support day will be a mixture of discussions and activities which you are free to participate in as much or as little as you want.
The cost for the day will be £25 per person - including refreshments, a light lunch and activities.
Please note that our retreats are run by bereaved parent volunteers. Our volunteers are not professionals and so what we offer is a uniquely warm, comforting and supportive day organised and facilitated by parents who have also experienced the loss of a child and have found understanding and hope themselves through The Compassionate Friends.
Where possible we will update our listings to notify of cancelled, postponed and rescheduled events, however we STRONGLY ADVISE that you check with the venue/organiser in the first instance for updates.
