An Anam Cara support group meeting for bereaved parents take place in county Tipperary next week

Anam Cara meeting for bereaved parents

Bereaved parents are welcome to attend a meeting of the Anam Cara Parental & Sibling Support Group in The Horse & Jockey Hotel in Thurles at 7.15pm on Monday, January 16. 

The group welcomes any bereaved parent, regardless of the age of the child or circumstances of death to the meeting, which is free of charge.

Anam Cara is inviting all bereaved parents to start their journey with them this January. Operating fourteen face-to-face meetings across the country along with online support, their door is always open to new attendees.

CEO Shane O’Dwyer reminds us “that those that come along for the first time can just be present…. there is no obligation to speak. The first time joining a meeting can be the toughest part of the journey”.  

Another journey Anam Cara is launching in January is, “Miles that Matter”. The challenge asks participants to complete 280,000 steps in the month of February.

People can do this any way they wish i.e. 10k steps a day, through a series of 10k runs, marathon etc. Participants register free of charge but are encouraged to fundraise.

All participants receive a branded Anam Cara t-shirt and are fully supported on their fundraising journey. Contact Jamie on j.conway@anamcara.ie for further information.  

Registration is not required to attend the meeting. Anam Cara would welcome any bereaved parent in Tipperary and surrounds. Anam Cara can be contacted on (085) 2888888 or by email info@anamcara.ie
