Never Too Early To Start Talking
Ahead of Dying Matters Awareness Week, this event hopes to encourage our community to get talking in whatever way, shape, or form works for them.
The theme this year will focus on the language that we use around death, dying, and grief. Everyone is invited to come along and find out more from guest speakers and local support organisations.
Expert advice will be available from 9am to Midday
No need to sign up, pop along to The Forum at a time to suit you.

It is free to attend.
Our first artist is a singer called Arianne Foley, read all about her below:
“Hey there, I’m Arianne Foley, and I come from the beautiful valleys of South Wales. I have over a decade of experience in the music industry, from working with bands, cover gigs, session work and work abroad.
Growing up in South Wales, I was very lucky to be part of a large diverse music scene in Newport and Cardiff, I was surrounded by incredibly talented musicians from the age of 16. They mentored me, inspired me and influenced my sound today. I’ve never really been able to define one singular genre I fit into, but if I had to, I’d say I have developed a delicate blend of rock, blues, country, and folk elements in my music. I hope my music will leave you feeling like you can take on any problem, no matter the size.”
