HUGG Pop-up Cafés offer informal, in-person support for adults bereaved by suicide. They offer a chance to meet others who understand what it’s like to lose someone to suicide, in a relaxed and welcoming setting.

If you’d like to attend, please scroll down to complete the registration form.

Our pop-up cafés take place in locations across Ireland. Dates and times vary, so please check this page regularly or follow us on social media for updates. Our current schedule is listed below.

Each café is led by trained volunteers with lived experience of suicide loss and offers a safe, non-judgmental space for social connection, mutual support, and shared understanding.

Who are the pop-up cafes for?

If you have lost someone to suicide—whether a family member, friend, neighbour, teammate, or colleague—you are very welcome to attend.

It doesn’t matter if your loss was recent or many years ago. Pop-up cafés are a chance to drop in, have a cuppa, and spend time with others who understand the impact of suicide bereavement.
