Next Steps Together

Next Steps Together Next Steps Together (NeST) is a not-for-profit organisation operating Tumbly Hill Health & Wellbeing Hub in Kingsbridge, South Devon.

We offer practical, emotional and social support for families impacted by dementia and 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.

We've been a little quiet on our website, blog and social media platforms since announcing our National Lottery award a fee months ago — but behind the scenes, we’ve been extremely busy.

Caring for a loved one who is living with dementia can be incredibly challenging, especially when unwelcome changes in their behaviors arise. Bearing in mind, as best we can in each moment, that the changes are a result of the disease can be helpful.

It's no one's fault. It's dementia.

✨ From first texts to newfound confidence and budding friendships ✨

A brand new Digital Skills Workshop launched yesterday at Tumbly Hill, and the room was full of learning, laughter, and small but powerful wins.

✅ One person sent their first-ever text — to a loved one.
✅ Another told us they already felt more confident downloading apps
✅ Everyone left feeling more connected — to their phone and each other.

These FREE workshops are run over 4 weeks by Learn Devon. They help you build digital confidence at your own pace, in a small friendly group.

A new course begins in September, and places are already filling.

📅 Classes are held on Wednesdays from 2pm - 4pm

📍 Location: Tumbly Hill Health & Wellbeing Hub, Kingsbridge
