THE bereavement charity Anam Cara is hosting their first face-to-face meeting of the new year in Letterkenny next week.
The charity’s Donegal branch will host the meeting in The Radisson Blu Hotel on Thursday, January 11 at 7.15pm and is encouraging parents who have faced the death of a child, to reach out for support.
“Traditions are very much associated with Christmas and the New Year. With fourteen face-to-face meetings across the country along with online support, bereavement charity Anam Cara, are encouraging parents who have faced the death of a child, to reach out for support,” said a spokesperson for the charity.
“It can become a new tradition, attending a meeting once a month over the entire year. It is not a tradition anyone wants to have to start but sadly, organisations such as Anam Cara need to exist. Over 2,000 bereaved parents attended Anam Cara events in 2023 at no cost to themselves, all their services are free of charge.”
Anam Cara welcome any bereaved parent, regardless of the age of the child or circumstances of death to the meeting and registration is not required to attend. Anam Cara can be contacted on 085 2888888 or by email info@anamcara.ie.
