The Loss Foundation is holding a ‘walk and talk’ event around Cwmbran Boating Lake on Saturday 21 December.
The charity offers bereavement support following the death of a loved one to cancer.
The organisers say: “This walk is for adults (18+) who have lost a loved one to cancer. It’s a space to connect with others who truly understand, in a supportive and relaxed environment.”
It’s from 10.30am to 12pm and you must register for free to let them know you’re going to go.

Feeling nervous?
We understand that joining a group like this might feel daunting – it’s completely normal to feel unsure. Many of our walkers have felt the same way at first. Rest assured, this is a welcoming and supportive space. You can take things at your own pace, and there’s no pressure to talk more than you feel comfortable. Here is a quote from one of our previous walkers:“It was a small enough group that we could engage in deeper conversation. We all went for coffee afterwards. Honestly, the best grief event I’ve ever attended. Thank you Loss Foundation!!”
What to expect:
- A small group of up to 10 walkers to keep things intimate and comfortable.
- A friendly volunteer host who will walk and chat with you, making sure everyone feels at ease.
- The chance to spend time outdoors with people who’ve experienced similar loss.
