A BEREAVEMENT café was being launched in West Somerset this week offering comfort for anybody who has lost loved ones.

It is being hosted in St Michael the Archangel Church, Alcombe, by associate priest the Rev Nicola Butcher, with the first café on Wednesday (December 3) from 2 pm to 3.30 pm.

‘Seeds of Hope’ is for anybody struggling with grief and will take place on the first Wednesday monthly.

A spokesperson said: “Are you struggling with grief?

“Seeds of Hope offers the opportunity to meet other people in a similar situation, in a safe and comfortable place.

“Come and meet other people who are also trying to find a way through loss and grief.

“It can help to talk to those who have had a similar experience.”
