Community events and support
New: Death Cafe at Crosspool Social
When: Wednesday September 24th 7pm-8:30pm
Where: Crosspool Social: 20 Sandygate Road Sheffield S10 5NH
Details: A Death Cafe is a group-directed discussion of death with no agenda, objectives or themes, except to increase awareness of death with a view to helping people make the most of their (finite) lives. It's a discussion group rather than a grief support or counselling session, with interesting conversations guaranteed! Facilitated by Lucy Gray, accredited psychotherapist, this is a free event (although purchases of drinks and cakes will be very welcome, to help support the cafe).
Booking: via Eventbrite.
New: Bereavement Friendship Group in Beighton
​
When: The first group will be held on Monday September 29th 3:30pm-5pm and then take place on the last Monday of every month.
Where: The Lifestyle Centre, High Street, Beighton, S20 1HE.
Details: A new group offering a welcoming, confidential space for anyone grieving the loss of a loved one. Share, listen and find comfort alongside caring volunteers Dave and Elaine, and others who understand. Open to everyone.
Booking: No booking needed, this is a “drop-in” event.
That’s a wrap!
This year’s Sheffield Life, Loss and Death Festival 2025 took place throughout May and featured 10 unique events filled with courageous conversations, thoughtful questions, and moments of connection and support.
A heartfelt thank you to everyone who took part—whether you attended, shared the festival with others, shared learning with loved ones and colleagues, or reflected on its themes in your own way. Thank you.
