We are inviting our community to come along to our Compassionate Cafes.
Lynsey Lawson, Compassionate Communities Team Lead: “At Our Compassionate Cafes, we are here to offer a comforting hand and a listening ear. Our cafes are warm, welcoming, and here to provide a safe space for anyone in our community who is experiencing loss.“
