Between 14 – 20 May 2018 it is Dying Matters Awareness Week: Dying Matters is an organisation that aims to help people talk more openly about dying, death, bereavement, and to make plans for the end of life.

We are very happy to be working with the lovely ladies Bernadette and Val who are holding their It’s Good to Talk event at Topaz Café, to help celebrate Dying Matters Awareness Week.

Taking place on Tuesday 15th May, 3:30pm to 6pm at Topaz Café on 216 - 218 Katherine Street, Ashton-under-Lyne OL6 7AS. Join us for a free, relaxed event where you can meet those working in the loss, death, and bereavement area; and to talk about the difficult but sometimes most important questions about loss.

Anyone is welcome to attend, meet and chat with individuals going through a similar experience.

The event is free but please book through the Eventbrite link here as space in the café is limited.

Community events such as this are so important for us at Tameside, Oldham and Glossop Mind to support community groups to meet, hold events, and help us share what we can offer and sign post those groups out in the community to what help they and their members can access.
