Community Connections Events

Find Support in a Relaxed Setting

At Red Nose, we know that healing after the loss of a child is a unique and often challenging journey. Our Community Connections Events offer a relaxed, non-facilitated environment where you can meet others who truly understand your grief. These events – such as BBQs, picnics, run clubs, and more – are designed to provide healthy distractions and create opportunities for connection in a fun, informal setting.

What Are Community Connections Events?

Our Community Connections Events are an excellent way to take a break from the intensity of grief and spend time with others who have faced a similar loss. These gatherings are designed to help you:

• Build lasting connections: Meet other families who understand your journey and form bonds that can provide ongoing support
• Enjoy a relaxed environment: Our events are casual and non-facilitated, offering a space where you can share stories, laugh, and find comfort in a supportive community
• Find healthy distractions: Engage in fun, informal activities that allow you to take a break from grief and focus on positive experiences

Whether you’re looking to relax with a picnic in the park, participate in a local run club, or simply chat over a casual BBQ, our Community Connections Events offer a supportive environment where you can connect with others on a similar path.

Why Join a Community Connections Event?

These events allow you to connect with others who truly understand your grief in a way that is unique. Many families have found that sharing experiences in these more casual settings can help alleviate feelings of isolation and provide a sense of belonging.

Joining a Community Connections event is a wonderful way to step out of the isolation that grief often brings and spend time in a space filled with empathy, support, and understanding.
