Greenhead Park, Huddersfield Walk

24 November 2024, 10.00
Greenhead Park, Huddersfield
BOOKING FOR THIS WALK HAS NOW CLOSED
Bereaved parents and TCF volunteers, Leanne, Julie and Lynne invite you to their next supportive walk in Greenhead Park in Huddersfield for bereaved parents, adult bereaved siblings and grandparents on Sunday 24 November, meeting at 9.45 am for a 10 am start. Our aim is to offer an opportunity for you to come together to walk and talk through our shared experience of losing someone close.
Greenhead 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 aim 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.
Please wear suitable footwear and bring 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.
All bereaved parents, grandparents and adult bereaved siblings (18+) are welcome.

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 within 4/5 days of the walk). Please note, when you book we will share your email address and mobile number with Leanne and Julie, the TCF walk facilitators, in case they need to update you about any last minute changes to the arrangements for the walk.
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.
Please note that individuals join a TCF walk at their own risk.
