To Absent Friends Coffee Morning
Organised by the Sunrise Partnership, 7 November, 10am- 12pm, Ashdale Hall, Westhill Drive, Westhill, Aberdeenshire AB32 6FY
unrise Partnership is a small, local charity working in Aberdeen City and Aberdeenshire. We provide free, therapeutic, confidential support for children and young people up to age 18 who have experienced bereavement and/or significant loss. There is no waiting list, support continues for as long as it is required, and we travel to meet the child or young person in a setting they feel comfortable in. We offer a blended approach - young people can choose to meet face to face indoors; or on a walk and talk; or meet online; or connect by phone or text. We also offer group support via Seasons for Growth and Family Loss Days.
Sunrise Partnership will be hosting a ‘To Absent Friends’ coffee morning/drop in event. Refreshments will be provided, and the aim is to offer the opportunity for those attending to remember loves ones, share experiences if they wish and hopefully establish peer support to minimise isolation and find solace.
Sunrise Partnership staff, volunteers and trustees will be in attendance to facilitate this and have conversations around the support we can offer. There will be an opportunity for storytelling and creative activities designed to facilitate remembering and talking about absent friends. We will also have a memory tree whereupon messages can be left for loved ones.
The event is free to attend, but please register in advance if you wish to join us. This can be done by phoning Sunrise Partnership on 07827 755735 or by emailing support@sunrisepartnership.org before Thursday 28th October 2021.
