“Following in Alban’s footsteps, St Albans Cathedral is a place of welcome and compassion, providing a safe, supportive space for those going through difficult times at the heart of our community. The Compassionate Café is a wonderful addition to all that we do and we look forward to working with Rennie Grove Peace Hospice Care.”

"Without doubt, the Compassionate Café made such a positive difference to me. It was wonderful to meet like-minded people who understood what I was going through and gave me the space to talk about how I was feeling, and where I could share my memories and my experiences. I feel I have now gained a renewed sense of purpose and structure in my life, and I am in a much better place than a few months ago – I’m now even looking at volunteering myself”

"Thank you all for your care, kindness and understanding, I don't know how I would have got through the early days of my husband's passing without you, so thank you for being there for me."
