Creating Conversations

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.

Talking About the End of Life: A Conversation worth Having

North Chingford Library The Green, Station Road, London

Some conversations matter too much to avoid.

This event explores why talking about death and dying, and planning for the end of life, is so important, and how we can start these conversations with confidence and care.

The session will include short discussions, brief presentations, and practical input from two speakers on various aspects of planning for the end of life: Waltham Forest's End of Life Clinical Lead and Allistair Anderson from Compassionate Funerals in Wanstead.
