News and Events

Please choose from training, meetings and conferences for information on the activities of the Leeds Bereavement Forum.

 

Death Cafe 

Come and join us for coffee and cake and in a relaxed and safe setting where you can feel free to discuss death and dying openly.    The aim is to increase awareness of death in order to help people make the most of their lives, conversations can differ from discussions of funeral options or questions on how to approach someone who has recently been bereaved etc.

Death Cafe information 

The Leeds Methodist Mission cafe offer nice lunches at reasonable prices if you decide to have lunch as well.

Please contact the office if you would like to attend.  If you decide to come on the day just turn up and we will be pleased to see you.
