New Steps – Bereavement Friendship Group

Meet Wednesdays 12:30pm – 2:30pm, Rayleigh Baptist Church, High Road, Rayleigh SS6 7QA

This is a friendly group offering those who have been bereaved the chance to meet others who share and understand the experience of loss and are looking to make new friends, socialise and explore new interests together.

It takes just one new step to have a friendly chat over a cuppa and make new friends.

The Group meets every week in central Rayleigh so give the RRAVS team a call for the venue details and dates – our volunteers will be ready to greet you at the door and introduce you to everyone.

Please either contact us on 01268 772 796 or email us at: info@rravs.org.uk

This is a friendly group of people who produce a wide variety of hand knitted items that are donated to local charities and voluntary organisations to either help with fund raising or to give to the people they support.
