Hello All. I wonder if I might tell you about a Friendship Group Meeting for Widows/Widowers that we are planning to hold in Belfast on Saturday 14th September. This is simply a group for men and women who have lost their husband, wife or partner and would like to meet together with other people in the same position. We are "testing the waters" to see if people are interested or think there is a need for a group like this. If you would like more information, please check out the contact details on our website - www.wfni.co.uk, get in touch with us and we will provide further details. Thank you all, best wishes, Lorna xx

  • Hello Everyone.

    I lost my husband to cancer almost a year ago and feel that I would like to make some new acquaintances if  can.  I would be interested in learning more about the Macmillan Community and what if any, get togethers are in the pipeline.

    Thank you, Barbara

    Hi Jenny, Their is a group off us meet once a month for Sunday lunch but at present we haven’t been meeting due to COVID. I would say we will start up again once everything gets back to normal. The group is a mixed group  and there is about 20 off us not everyone is able to go on that particular Sunday as  we may have something else on .Way up is a good site  for people who are widowed you can get help their .Usually the Sunday lunch is put on that site under events when it is going to happen.
