Dia de los Muertos
Join us for Día de los Muertos, part of a Mexican festival for family and friends to come together to celebrate and honour the lives of their deceased loved ones.
Bring a photo of your child, sibling or grandchild to pin up on a garland, a plate of their favourite food or snack and share the stories about your loved one that make you smile.

Please join us at the Centre for a social morning cuppa. This is an alternative to formal support groups and provides an opportunity to connect with other bereaved families in a relaxed setting. Please drop in, even if you are worried you won't know anyone. You will be warmly welcomed and the bond that joins us all together seems to make friendships form in a matter of minutes.
