A NEW group has started at Seaton Methodist Church for bereaved people.

A NEW group has started at Seaton Methodist Church for bereaved people.

The coffee mornings hope to help people who have lost someone close to them - be it a spouse, partner, sibling, child or parent.

The founders, who say they do not aim to provide solutions but simply listen, feel it can viewed as an ordinary coffee morning. But whereas someone might not go to the usual kind of gathering if it was a difficult day, the befrienders and others will understand and offer support.

The event will begin on Tuesday, September 15, from 10.15am to noon. For more information call Margaret Cole on (01297) 624321.
