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.
Our Good Grief Cafes are open to Waltham Forest residents aged over 18 and adult users of Waltham Forest Health and Care services.
They are an informal and supportive place where people can come together to share and discuss their experiences of grief and loss and connect with others who understand. Whatever your loss, and whether this is anticipated, recent or a long time ago, everyone is welcome.

Come and join us for our first ever summer picnic!
The picnic is open to anyone who has attended any of our Grief Support activities (i.e. our Good Grief Cafes and Understanding Grief talks) or one of our Death Cafes.
It will be a informal and casual event - an opportunity to continue some of the conversations started at previous cafes and talks or simply a chance to chat and meet new people.
