About

A gentle space to sit with loss. We provide connection and resources for anyone who is grieving. Drop in, no appointment needed.

In the heart of Bradford on Avon in collaboration with the Hub @BA15 the Open Arms Grief Cafe offers something quietly essential: a place for grief to be spoken aloud rather than carried alone. Once a month, the doors open for a drop-in grief cafe — no booking, no pressure, just a warm room, refreshments, and people who understand that loss doesn't follow a timetable. But we don't want support here to be limited to one Monday afternoon a month. We are now working to develop a resource bank so that whenever the Hub is open, accessible grief resources will be available to anyone who walks through the door, whether they're a few days into a loss or years down the line and only just ready to reach out. We also want to serve as a connecting point for the wider community of care, a place where counsellors, celebrants, charities, and anyone working in bereavement support across Bradford on Avon and the surrounding villages can meet, share knowledge, and build the kind of local network that makes signposting someone to the right help feel less like guesswork and more like a warm handoff. That web of connection can make all the difference.
