Greenhead Park Walk

2 April 2023, 10.30

Huddersfield, West Yorkshire

Bereaved parents Julie, Lynne and Leanne are planning their next walk at Greenhead Park in Huddersfield for Sunday 2nd April 2023. Meet at 10.15 am for a 10.30 am start.

Julie, Lynne and Leanne warmly invite you below…

Hello all

We are three bereaved parents who met through attending our local TCF Support Group in Brighouse. We would like to offer the opportunity for bereaved parents, adult bereaved siblings and grandparents to have regular opportunities to come together to walk and talk through our shared experience of losing someone close.

If you haven’t walked with us before, please don’t feel daunted or apprehensive about joining on your own. You will very quickly find yourself in a friendly, supportive community of others who are similarly bereaved and understand.

The park is mainly flat and has tarmac paths. We plan to walk several circuits of the park at a gentle pace. Feel free to do as many or as few circuits with us as you wish. We are aiming to spend around 2 to 3 hours together. The park is not in an isolated position and so you will be able to make your way, from any point within it, back to where you parked your car or where you are able to access public transport services for the journey home.

The Conservatory Café within the park serves a selection of hot and cold meals and drinks, including snacks and cakes. There are public toilets located at the top end of the park adjacent to the tennis courts and also within the Conservatory Café.

As the weather can still be quite changeable at the beginning of April, we have been advised to remind you that you take part in the walk at your own risk. Please bring suitable footwear and waterproofs. Dogs are welcome and must be kept on a lead initially but can be let off at the owner’s discretion once the walk is underway.

There is a limited space pay and display car park to the rear of the Conservatory Café. Please note that car parking, in the immediate vicinity, can be limited. However, as this walk is on a Sunday, parking will hopefully not be a problem.

Please note that if you bring along a friend or relative with you for initial support, they will be unable to join us for the walk itself unless they are also a bereaved parent, grandparent or adult bereaved sibling.

All bereaved parents, grandparents and adult bereaved siblings (18+) are welcome. We look forward to seeing you on Sunday 2nd April 2023.

With compassion, Julie, Lynne and Leanne.
