SUMMARY:Walk and Talk for bereaved families

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
