Bereavement Cafe

Sharing your grief journey

Our Bereavement Cafe

St Barnabas House Chaplain Sarah Bell and volunteers welcome you to a safe space where those navigating the complex world of bereavement can come together to connect, share and talk over a coffee.

We recognise that grief touches us all uniquely. In these meetings, you’ll have space to share stories and forge friendships, helping each other to find comfort and hope.
