Bereavement Cafes
Our care doesn't stop after your loved one dies.
The St. Rocco’s Community Bereavement Cafes are open to all who are grieving and suffering after the loss of a loved one.
"I find this bereavement café soothing and its lovely to have someone to talk to."
Although bereavement touches everyone at some time, support and understanding can help during one of life’s more difficult and lonely periods. At St. Rocco’s we offer that support and understanding through our two cafes.
However long you have been grieving our cafes will offer you a warm welcome. The St. Rocco’s Counselling and Emotional Care Team with volunteers are there to listen. You can choose to talk one to one with a volunteer or talk to others with a similar bereavement in an informal and safe environment.
The cafes are free and open for anyone to ‘Drop-In’, a referral or pre-booking is not needed.
"Thank you so much for holding these sessions, they are much needed."
