Grief Café

The Grief Café looks to ‘Shine a Light’ on grief and the support available for the Manx community.

Cruse Bereavement Support Isle of Man and Hospice Isle of Man have joined forces to promote National Grief Awareness Week.

National Grief Awareness Week is held annually from 2nd December to 8th December and is a dedicated time to raise awareness of the impact of grief and loss. This year’s theme is ‘Shine a Light’ which aims to illuminate the outstanding people, places and projects that can help.

To mark this occasion Cruse Bereavement Support Isle of Man and Hospice Isle of Man will be ‘Shining a Light’ on Grief and the support services available to the Manx community with a drop in Grief Café. The event will provide a chance for members of the public to drop in and find out more about both charities and there will also be information about volunteering opportunities at Hospice Isle of Man.
