Grief
Kind
To highlight our new research, which has revealed that mealtimes are particularly difficult for people who are grieving, we’ve installed a dining table surrounded by 13 empty chairs at Victoria Leeds shopping centre.
Each seat at the table represents a person who has died, and acts as a call to the public to support their grieving family and friends so that no one has to go through grief alone.
