Kindness Festival 2025 – Frome Grief Network: A Day of Connection and Support
March 15 @ 12:00 - 17:00
Event Navigation
Join us for a welcoming and informal day dedicated to navigating grief, connection, and support. Whether you are experiencing loss yourself or want to learn how to support others, you are invited to participate in as much or as little of the day as it feels right for you.
This event is part of the Frome Kindness Festival and highlights the power of kindness in grief—through listening, sharing, and simply being present for one another. Enjoy our cosy ‘sitting room’ space, where it’s okay to grieve or talk about grief in whatever way feels right for you.
