Welcome to GRACE MeetUp! Grieve- Feel like there is a rule on how long you should grieve for? Remember- Feel like you don’t get to talk about your lost loved one(s)? Act- Want to drive change after losing a loved one? Create- Want to share your talents to help others? Engage- Feeling disconnected? I will start with what this is not. This is not a “grief group” with a qualified counsellor, I am setting up this group to bring together those that might feel a little alone in their grief journey and could perhaps do with a reason to get out of the house, even just for 30 minutes. Having lost both parents but at very different periods in my life, I have experienced quite different grief journeys and know all too well how isolating it can be even when surrounded by friends and family. Particularly when everyone else seems to get back to "normality." This group is dedicated to bringing individuals together who have lost loved one(s) at any point in their lives. Through building a community and supporting each other through grief and loss, we can create positive change in our local community. Whether you enjoy outdoor activities like hiking, have a love for art appreciation, or have a desire to reach out and help those in need, this meetup is for you. Join us in making a difference and finding connection in our shared experiences. Sarah

The Nottingham and Derby Walking Group [[NDWG](https://ndwg.org.uk/)] is an active, reliable group which offers walking, weekends away, social activities and conservation tasks. We offer a walk every Sunday of the year plus regular Saturday walks and Wednesday evening walks in the summer. Walks typically range between 6 and 14 miles with a shorter option on a Wednesday evening. In addition we offer at least six walking weekend breaks every year. Locations range from Scotland to Cornwall and everywhere in between. Founded in 1997, NDWG is the original young person’s walking group for **Derbyshire**, **Nottinghamshire** and **Staffordshire**. As part of the Ramblers Association we do not charge people for coming on our walks and anyone is welcome to come and try out a walk. We do however believe that it is important to support the continued existence of the extensive network of free footpaths which we have in the UK. As such we request that following three walks you join the Ramblers Association. Ramblers membership starts at just £36.60 (£25.60 concessionary) per year. By joining the Ramblers Association you will become a full member of NDWG and have access to all group activities including weekends away. \*Note\* On average there are 20 people who attend each of our walks. We use Meetup as a way of promoting our walks, so don’t be alarmed to see only a few attendees in the walk’s guestlist! The majority of our members find our walks through our website [[NDWG Walks](https://ndwg.org.uk/walks/)] For more information visit [The Ramblers](http://www.ramblers.org.uk/get-involved/become-a-member.aspx) or join us on [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/groups/2588466229/).
