Next Steps Together

Next Steps Together A non-profit rooted in community, shaped by lived and professional experience, operating Tumbly Hill Wellbeing Hub in South Devon.

We provide evidence-based, intergenerational support & training to families impacted by dementia, neurodivergence & grief. At Next Steps (Living, Dying, Grieving) we offer counselling and support to people who have experienced life-changing or limiting illness, bereavement, grief and loss. We are based in Kingsbridge, South Devon, and offer a range of therapeutic and support services. Our sessions may be face-to-face, at our centrally located therapy centre, online, over the phone or at one of our outdoor Eco-therapy locations (on a beach, in woods, along a river or in open parkland). Our services include:

Counselling
Support groups
Talks and workshops
Information and resources
Training and supervision (for therapists)

We run support groups for people who wish to connect with others who are experiencing issues similar to their own such as:

Living with Dying
Pre-Bereavement (anticipatory grief)
Bereavement support


We also run workshops and training courses:

Practical End-of-Life Care Skills
Creating Personal Rituals
Advance Care Planning
Self-Care Techniques
Managing Stress, Anxiety and Pain

These workshops are open to the general public, as well as healthcare professionals, end-of-life practitioners, complementary therapists and other organisations/individuals who are interested in learning more about navigating life-limiting illness and grief. Our sessions, whether in the form of individual counselling or group support, aim to help you approach difficult topics such as:

- living with a life-limiting condition
- preparing for your own death
- preparing for a loved one's death
- navigating complex family dynamics around death or loss
- anticipatory grief
- complicated grief
- life losses that feel like death (even if no-one has died)
- unresolved grief or losses from the past
- creating personal ceremonies or rituals

Sometimes a single session can give you the support you need right now. Other times we might work together for a few weeks or even months. We are entirely guided by your needs.

Thank you to everyone who joined us for our NeST Volunteer Evening at Tumbly Hill Wellbeing Hub last week.

We loved sharing our vision for Tumbly Hill and hearing about the ideas, skills, and experiences people are keen to contribute. We’re absolutely delighted to welcome seven new volunteers, with four more enquiries since the event. We will be starting DBS checks, induction and training soon.

If you couldn't make the volunteer evening, there are still plenty of ways to get involved - from helping on reception or at community events to supporting dementia activities, peer groups, or creative sessions.

Volunteering at NeST is about being part of something local, supportive, and purposeful.

Together we Educate, Engage, Enrich, and Empower each other.

✨ Steve (Learn Devon) - introducing the digital skills, confidence-building and NHS App courses that run regularly here at Tumbly Hill.

Thank you, Alice from Paper Bird Island!

Our Community Open Day was bursting with creativity, thanks to Alice, who led colourful papier-mache making, fairy door painting and facepainting throughout the day.

Her table was buzzing with energy and imagination, and it was wonderful to see children and adults crafting side by side.

Paper Bird Island's warm and friendly atmosphere sums up exactly what Tumbly Hill is all about: everyone welcome, everyone included, everyone creating something together ❤️

Thank you Alice for bringing your skills and creativity to our launch day - we hope to share more creative moments with you at Tumbly in the future 😀

What an amazing launch day we had - thanks so much to everyone who came !
