Death & Grief Cafes
Our Death & Grief Cafes offer a safe, confidential, and welcoming space where people—often strangers—come together to talk openly about death, dying, and grief.
There is no agenda or objectives; the conversation is simply led by the people in the group. We sit in small groups so it’s easy to participate. It is a place to talk and share or just listen.
At a Death Cafe, the focus is on exploring feelings, questions, and reflections about death and mortality. The aim is to increase awareness of death, encouraging us to live our finite lives to the fullest.
At our Grief Cafes, the conversation focuses on the thoughts, feelings, and experiences of grief, providing a space for connection and support.
Grief Walk, Walthamstow Wetlands
Friday December 5 @ 10:30 am - 12:30 pm
Free
Grief Walk – Step into nature, breathe deeply, and find support as you walk with others who understand.
Our Grief Walks offer a calm and welcoming space to move at your own pace, whether you want to reflect quietly, share your thoughts, or simply take in the beauty of Walthamstow Wetlands.
As this will be our last Grief Walk for a little while, we’ll be adding something special: a nature-inspired creative activity led by the Walthamstow Wetlands team.
We’ll begin with a short guided walk around the Wetlands, then head indoors to warm up with a hot drink and make a festive wreath using natural materials gathered along the way.
Our volunteer hosts will be there throughout to support you and help you take part in whatever way feels right for you.
The walk is free to attend thanks to funding from the National Lottery Community Fund.
Whatever your loss — whether recent or many years ago — everyone is welcome.
Booking information: Places are limited so booking is required.
