Activities held at the Carers Support Centre
Bereavement Support Group
A dedicated gathering that offers emotional support and companionship to those who have lost a loved one. It is held on the second Tuesday of every month from 14.30 - 16.00pm, and is facilitated by a representative from St. Christopher's Hospice. These meetings provide a safe space for individuals to share their experiences, express their grief, and receive guidance and support from both the hospice professional and fellow group members.
