A new free drop-in for people living with bereavement is coming to Whitton, with the first session taking place on Tuesday, 6 October.
Local charity space2grieve is opening a Compassionate Cuppa grief café at Whitton Community Centre on Percy Road, Twickenham (TW2 6JL). Sessions run from 10am to 11.30am on the first Tuesday of every month — no booking, no referral, and no charge. Anyone who has experienced loss, regardless of when or how, is welcome to drop in for a hot drink and conversation with others who understand.
The café extends space2grieve's existing work across the borough. The charity already provides free, confidential one-to-one support for adults, children and young people, and this new monthly session is intended to make that support more accessible to residents in the Whitton area.
Grief can be an isolating experience, and the informal, drop-in format is designed to lower the barriers to seeking help. There is no expectation to share or to stay for the full hour and a half.
For more information or to access one-to-one support, residents can call 07519 376363 or email support@space2grieve.org.uk. Full details are available on the Richmond Council website.
