Booking for this walk has now closed 

TCF volunteer and bereaved parent, Peter invites you to join him and fellow bereaved parents, siblings (18 years+) and grandparents on Thursday 28 November, meeting at 11 am at Hethel in South Norfolk.***

At the meeting place at the start of the walk***, please note that there is adequate parking and there are toilets in the church.

The walk follows paths through 3 miles of deciduous woodland and beautiful meadows. We will also visit the smallest Wildlife Trust Nature Reserve in Britain at -  Hethel Thorn. This ancient hawthorn tree is known to date from the 13th century, but legend tells us that the tree grew from Joseph of Arimathea’s staff.

For those bereaved parents, adult siblings and grandparents who wish to join us we will follow the walk with tea and cake at a local café.

The walk will be leisurely with every opportunity to talk. Please wear appropriate footwear and clothing for a late autumn/winter walk. 

***

Please note that our peer support is for parents bereaved of a child from one month old to an adult son or daughter, from any cause.

We ask please that you wait until you are at least 3 months or more bereaved before accessing our support walks – new walk dates are added on a regular basis here. We very much hope to welcome you at a future walk. During this time, please contact our Helpline on 0345 123 2304 for support.

***We will be sending out a welcome email about a week before the walk to give you exact meeting point details and final arrangements. The email with this information comes from the walk facilitator, Peter, 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 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.

As this is a supportive walk, we ask that we stay together as a group for the duration the walk. Thank you. Please note that all walkers join us at their own risk.
