These three days will be a mixture of discussions and activities which you are free to participate in as much or as little as you wish. Most of all, this is an opportunity to spend a few days away with people who truly understand what it means to be a parent bereaved in these particularly difficult ways.

The venue – Woodbrooke Quaker Study Centre – is the Grade II listed former family home of the chocolate maker, George Cadbury, and is located within easy reach of Birmingham city centre. Set in ten acres of organically managed gardens and woodlands, including a lake and a walled garden, this unique and historic house offers a relaxed and welcoming environment, with a wonderful sense of peace and tranquillity.
