New Bereavement Cafe needs refreshment server
A new monthly Bereavement Cafe started on 11th July 2025 providing a safe space for people dealing with loss to chat over a cuppa and cake or just ‘be’, run by volunteers with experience in this area. They are seeking one more person to join the team serving drinks and cake. This could be once a month or every 2 months or so. Please contact Lynn Cowling at lynn.cowling@hotmail.com for more information.
