SUMMARY:Walk and Talk for bereaved families
DESCRIPTION:We warmly invite bereaved families to join our fortnightly Walk & Talk – a gentle\, supportive space to connect with others who understand. \nWe’ll meet at the café (Pitzhanger Pantry) in the middle of Walpole Park\, Ealing\, before taking a relaxed walk together. Family support workers will be there to listen\, chat\, or simply walk alongside you — whatever feels right for you on the day. \nThere’s no pressure to talk or share — you are welcome to come exactly as you are\, no matter how you’re feeling. Whether you’d like quiet company\, a chance to talk\, or just some fresh air\, you are very welcome. \nPlease feel free to sign up in advance or attend on the day. \n
