We warmly invite all bereaved parents to our events. Please come along to either our in-person events (in Sheffield, UK) or our online events. All of our events for bereaved parents are provided free of charge to bereaved parents. However, if you would like to make a donation or fundraise for us then this would be gratefully received. We are a small charity with few overheads so any money received allows us to continue to offer support to bereaved parents.
Groups (in person)
A chance for parents who are bereaved through pregnancy, infant or child loss at any age, any cause and at any time to meet together. We tend to have a topic but also the chat is pretty free flowing. Feel free to talk about your children or anything else for that matter. We often bring our friendly cocker spaniel, Mac along with us. The space is private and confidential and everyone is warm and welcoming.

Strength Training
Whether you are a seasoned professional or have never set foot in a gym in your life - you will be warmly welcomed at these supportive sessions for bereaved parents. The sessions are run by Shiv, a strength and conditioning coach, competing strength athlete and friend and supporter of Lenny’s Legacy. This gym has always been a safe space in our grief and we are proud to share it with you - please know you are welcome however you are feeling on the day.

Dad’s Walking Group
A chance for bereaved dads to get together to walk and talk if it feels right to. We know sometimes you might not feel like talking about your loss, but that being in the company of those who know your pain can be healing in itself. There is no pressure or expectation to talk but you can share if you want to. Details of the walks will be uploaded on our website, social media and a whatsapp group (please ask to join if you would like to). Feel free to attend regularly or on an ad hoc basis. It is helpful to let Roy know you are coming so he knows to expect you.

Hypnotherapy
If you have no experience of hypnotherapy - you can expect in these sessions to feel deeply relaxed perhaps more so than you have in a long time - but rest assured you would be able to respond if you needed to. These are group sessions led by a qualified hypnotherapist who is herself a bereaved mum with a special interest in supporting those in grief. You will not be expected to share or say anything (but you can if you like). We will introduce the session and discuss some of the nervous system responses in grief. Elle will then take us through a hypnotherapy lasting around 25mins - we then have time for a debrief and any questions. People tell us that they feel deeply relaxed in these sessions and that the feeling of relaxation lasts so that they experience a good nights sleep.

Wave of Light
The Wave of Light is a global remembrance of all babies and children who have died. Everyone is invited to light a candle wherever they are in the world to create a global wave of light. At Lenny’s Legacy, we mark this event by bringing people together for an annual walk, we have a banner with names of babies and children who have died on it and we light this up at 7pm with torches. EVERYONE is welcome at this event whether or not they have been directly affected by the death of a child, this event is about raising awareness, togetherness and connection.
We will meet at the Norfolk Arms Carpark and after a short intro will walk for around 30 mins before we light up the banner and have a moment of reflection. We will then make our way back to the pub where we will arrive around 7.30pm. For those who wish to, we have booked out a private room so we can meet in there if you would like to learn more about the charity or simply order some food and drinks.

Creative Together
We know sometimes in grief we don’t feel like talking, or that it is easier to talk when we are focussed on something else entirely. So we have invited a local artist to join us at some of our regular in-person support groups. Our artist, Freya, is experienced in working with people going through trauma or difficult times and has a deep understanding of how healing art and creativity can be. The activities will include things like decorating vinyl records or making Christmas decorations. You are invited to make something to represent your child - though again there is no pressure or expectation to do so. No experience necessary, you don’t need to bring anything and you don’t need to take part in the crafts if you don’t wish you - it is optional and our regular support group will continue.
