The festive season can be especially tough for those who are bereaved. That's why we're hosting peer support workshops to offer a gentle, understanding space to share, listen & explore ways to care for ourselves through this time. Please share 💌compassionate-sheffield.co.u… #Sheffield

Survivors of Bereavement by Suicide@SOBScharity
7 May 2025
