We are incredibly grateful to be stepping into a new chapter for our grief support circle, made possible through the generous support of Barchester Homes.
Their kindness in offering us a welcoming community space means that, from May onwards, we are able to continue holding our circle free of charge, removing barriers and ensuring that anyone who needs support can access it. This gesture truly reflects their commitment to giving back and supporting emotional wellbeing within our communities, and we feel deeply thankful to be partnering with them in this way.
As our circle continues to grow, so too does our intention to reach more people who may be navigating loss. To support this, we will now be alternating between two locations:
Newington Court, Sittingbourne – providing a central and accessible space for those in Rainham, Sittingbourne, and surrounding areas
Friston Care Home, Rochester – extending our reach to those in Maidstone, Walderslade, Rochester, Gillingham, and Strood
By holding space across these two locations, we are opening our circle to a wider community, creating more opportunities for connection, understanding, and shared healing.
Grief can feel isolating, but no one has to walk it alone. Our circle is here to gently hold space for every story, every emotion, and every step of the journey.
We look forward to welcoming both familiar and new faces as we continue to grow this supportive community together.
Our organisation provides a compassionate and supportive space for individuals in the local community who are experiencing grief following the loss of a loved one. Grief is multi-faceted and often difficult to navigate alone; our aim is to bring people together to foster healing, connection, and resilience during this challenging time.
