27 January 2024, 11.00

Formby, Merseyside

Bereaved parent and volunteer Marcia is leading her next TCF walk in Formby on the beaches, dunes and in the pinewoods on Saturday 27th January 2024. We will be meeting at 10.45am for an 11am start. 

This is a 4-5 mile walk which will be taken at an easy pace, and will last approximately 3.5 hours. This will be a walk along the English coastline in Formby, and so the terrain will be mostly flat but some may be rough and uneven, such as the wet sand on the beach. 

Trainers or walking shoes will suffice but waterproofs may be needed if the forecast predicts rain. It could be windy on the beach and as the walk will be in January, we suggest a hat, gloves and a scarf plus your usual warm winter layers. 

Well behaved dogs will be most welcome.  

We are sorry but if your loss is within the last 3-4 months, we think it would be best to wait a little longer before accessing our support walks – new walk dates are added on a regular basis here. We hope to welcome you to a future walk. 

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. 

To register for the walk, please click ’book for this event’.
