🌾 Holding Grief, Growing Hope – A Community Call 🌾
Here at Soulton Long Barrow, we honour life, loss, and the cycles of the land. Our local guardian, Merryn Tenalach, also runs an incredible CIC serving the needs of our Shropshire community. Through this work, she holds safe, compassionate spaces for those navigating grief, from sudden loss and miscarriage to anticipatory grief and the quiet isolation that often follows life-changing events.
Her CIC offers community grief circles and specialist sessions where grief can be gently witnessed, supported, and held. These spaces give people the chance to process loss in a way that is relational, inclusive, and grounded.
We now have an opportunity to expand this vital work across Shropshire, but to unlock funding pledged by Shropshire Council, we must reach our full target on Spacehive. Without community support, this funding will be lost.

Every donation brings us closer to ensuring that no one in our community faces grief alone, and helps nurture spaces where hope can grow alongside remembrance.
Please share this with friends, family, and neighbours. Together, we can hold grief with care, and grow hope for all who need it.
We long to deepen our grief tending, training open-hearted volunteers and offering gentle, subsidised 1:1 support for those walking with sorrow.
