Death Cafe Digbeth

Stuart and Andrew Lightheart

At a Death Cafe people, often strangers, gather to eat cake, drink tea and discuss death.  Our objective is 'to increase awareness of death with a view to helping people make the most of their (finite) lives'.  A Death Cafe is a group-directed discussion of death with no agenda, objectives or themes. It is a discussion group rather than a grief support or counselling session. Death Cafes are always offered: 
- On a not for profit basis  - In an accessible, respectful and confidential space  - With no intention of leading people to any conclusion, product or course of action  - Alongside refreshing drinks and nourishing food – and cake! 
We are offering Death Cafe Digbeth as we think it's important to have a space people, especially younger people, to discuss issues and feelings about death and dying.
We believe in a totally inclusive space, so welcome people from BME and LGBTQIA communities. We promote a safe, respectful and warm space - with cake!
Andrew is vegan, so there will be delicious VEGAN cake.
We are holding this Death Cafe at Impact Hub Birmingham, a network of amazing citizens, makers, doers, entrepreneurs, activists and dreamers committed to building a better Birmingham and a better world.
Powered by a 6000 sq. ft. collaborative workshop, the Hub is an engine for passion, learning and outcomes where together, we can build a better city.
About the organisers
Stuart and Andrew Lightheart met 16 years ago when Stuart was working as a nurse at a children's hospice, looking after the daughter of a friend of Andrew's. On their first date they talked about death and dying and found out they shared similar views. So death has been part of their marriage right from day one! Andrew has fifteen years' experience as a coach and facilitator and particularly enjoys holding a safe space for frank and open discussion. 
This event is part of a week long programme of events for Dying Matter Awareness Week supported by BrumYODO- a Birmingham collective enabling open and honest conversations about Death and Dying.
