Sometimes the conversations we put off are the ones that matter most 💙
We’re delighted to be offering our Conversations That Matter half-day workshop — a friendly, supportive space to talk about the things that really matter to you and the people around you.
There are conversations we can find difficult to start. We might worry about upsetting someone, not know what to say, or simply have no idea where to begin.
This workshop is about making those conversations a little easier. And you don’t need to be at the end of life to take part. These conversations can be helpful at any stage of life, particularly if you’ve been affected by cancer or another life-changing experience.
We’ll be joined by some fantastic people from our community:
Nicola, our counsellor – talking about conversations with loved ones and legacy work
Ben from Turnbull Funeral Directors – practical advice around funerals and planning ahead
Kieron from The Will Guys – guidance around wills and getting your affairs in order
We have 24 spaces, with rolling small-group sessions of 8 people, giving everyone the opportunity to explore different topics in a relaxed and supportive setting.

No judgement. No pressure. Just honest conversations, practical advice and a chance to think about the things that matter to you.
