Come and join the first session of the new Trans+ Death Caf! A space for all trans and non-binary people to talk about death and dying openly and freely. Our first session will take the format of a traditional death caf in that everyone will have the opportunity to talk as much or as little as they want to in a way that works for them, knowing that they will be listened to and respected.

As the session will be close to Transgender Day of Remembrance, I am also inviting people to bring something that represents someone who you would like to remember. The last part of the session will be spent holding space for those memories and people. Engagement with this is completely optional - please consider your own wellbeing first.

Make sure you have some cake or a snack of your choice, a refreshing drink and anything else you might need to feel comfortable during the session. The session will take place via Zoom and in English with captions. The group will be small with a maximum of 12 participants. Please arrive on time! I have set aside a maximum of 3 hours for the session but it may end up ending quicker. Please note that death cafes are not therapeutic spaces but advice can be given on professional grief and bereavement services.

Since you’re here…

… we have a small favour to ask. We don't want your money to support a hack's bar bill at Abattoir, but if you have a pound or two spare, we really encourage you to support a good cause. If this review has either helped you discover a gem or avoid a turkey, consider doing some good that will really make a difference.

You can donate to the charity of your choice, but if you're looking for inspiration, there are three charities we really like.

Show me the charities

Mama Biashara
Kate Copstick’s charity, Mama Biashara, works with the poorest and most marginalised people in Kenya. They give grants to set up small, sustainable businesses that bring financial independence and security. That five quid you spend on a large glass of House White? They can save someone’s life with that. And the money for a pair of Air Jordans? Will take four women and their fifteen children away from a man who is raping them and into a new life with a moneymaking business for Mum and happiness for the kids.

Theatre MAD
The Make A Difference Trust fights HIV & AIDS one stage at a time. Their UK and International grant-making strategy is based on five criteria that raise awareness, educate, and provide care and support for the most vulnerable in society. A host of fundraising events, including Bucket Collections, Late Night Cabarets, West End Eurovision, West End Bares and A West End Christmas continue to raise funds for projects both in the UK and Sub-Saharan Africa.
