TAL founder Jacqui Gunn, who started the group following the loss of her father, said: “Many of us have struggled over the last 20 months and we wanted to host a drop in event with trained counsellors for people to talk informally with other people who have experienced loss.
“We’re very grateful to Sam for letting us host the event and to counsellors Jayne Girking and Carole Dalton.
