Support

We are pleased to announce that we will continue to run our monthly support meetings on the 2nd Wednesday of the month between 7:45pm and 9:15pm at St Johns Church Community Centre, Margate, CT9 1LN. Free parking is available. We are all bereaved parents ourselves and this meeting is an open space for you to come and talk about your experiences and babies. There is no pressure to talk, if you feel more comfortable listening that is perfectly okay, we all grieve in our own way. 

Our meetings always take place on the second Wednesday of the month at the above address and time, for the latest news on our meetings and activities follow our social media pages listed below.
