Autumn Colours in the Capital

21 October 2023, 11.00

Meeting at Waterloo Station - London

 

All bereaved parents, siblings and grandparents are warmly welcome to join us . Meet at 11 am at Waterloo station. Bereaved dad, Terry, will be leading a wonderful 5 mile walk taking in several of London’s major tourist attractions including Trafalgar Square, Buckingham & Kensington Palaces.

Terry will offer walkers short commentaries on places of interest and landmarks as we walk together on an Autumnal Saturday morning.

Walking will be at a moderate pace mainly through the green, open spaces of some of the beautiful Royal Parks. Comfortable footwear is advised but walking will be on firm surfaces - so no mud! Please note that this walk is not suitable for those who require walking aids or who might find the pace too demanding.

There will be a lunch stop at a cafe in one of the parks. Or bring your own picnic for lunch.

We will meet inside Waterloo Station at 11 am, on the main concourse underneath the clock.

The walk will finish at approximately 3.30 pm at High Street Kensington Underground Station. There will be the option of a well-earned drink in a traditional pub after the walk

These walks are intended to be interesting, an opportunity to socialise and chat to other bereaved parents and family members as well as to offer some exercise to support our mental and physical wellbeing.

Terry has deliberately set the timing and start and finish points to allow anyone to join this walk from outside of London.

We welcome all bereaved parents, grandparents and bereaved siblings (18 years or over). We look forward to meeting those who have walked with us before, and also welcoming those who are new to our walks.

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

We will be sending out a welcome email about a week before the walk to give you more information and meeting point details. This email comes from info@tcf.org.uk so please look out for it (please also be aware that it can sometimes go into junk or spam folders, so do check there if you have registered for the walk and haven't received details) 

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.
