The Word

Come and join us for a piece of cake and a group chat when we have a chance to&nbsp;think and talk about death. Together let us shatter the silence around discussing death. The goal is to raise awareness of death and inspire us to live our lives fully. It's a group-directed discussion with no agenda - just meaningful conversation.&nbsp;The session gives people a chance to talk about and issues around death and could include such things such as writing a will, planning a funeral etc. We don't try and sell you anything but can point you to the right people if you are worried about anything. A number of organisations will be in attendance if you need specific information including Age Concern and Bereavement Services.&nbsp; This is discussion group rather than a bereavement, grief support or counselling session.
