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.

“We’re hoping that this is the first of a series of bereavement support events that we will be able to hold in Pocklington. Market Street Cafe is a fitting venue as it was one of my dad’s favourite places to eat in Pocklington.

“There’s no need to book – just come and join us any time between 6pm and 8pm.”
