Donations cannot currently be made to this page

Vale Of York Half Marathon · 11 September 2022

This group aims to help people who are affected by bereavement or loss, whether that is a family member, friend, job or self-confidence. TAL was set up by East Yorkshire woman, Jacqueline Gunn, who felt she needed somewhere to turn to when her father died, just to have a chat with like-minded people. As a result, Jacqueline set up pop-up wellbeing cafes in East and North Yorkshire and now is planning to launch the TAL Community Hub in the centre of Market Weighton. This consists of two buildings, an information centre (pictured) with rooms for hire, and a Wellness Barn, which will offer a multi-purpose space for activities and workshops. A team of specialists will also be available to help people with health and wellbeing issues. As preparations to refurbish the buildings are underway, the work is being funded by a legacy but the Hub needs to be sustainable and, as we are starting from scratch, everything needs to be bought.

Story

Talking about Loss was established by Jacqui Gunn in 2019 as a warm, friendly, supportive peer and professional-led meet up group for like-minded people to talk freely about loss. The group now organises pop up events throughout Yorkshire in addition to activities, men's groups and regular ‘cuppa and chat' sessions at the charity's base at TAL's Community Hub in Market Weighton.
