Festival 2023

A Day to Remember

Organised by Families Outside

Saturday 4 November 2023, 11am - 2pm

Glasgow and online via Zoom

This event is not open to the public

Families bereaved through a death in prison often grieve alone – a ‘disenfranchised grief’ unsupported in wider society. This remembrance event brings these families together through this shared experience to commemorate their family members through mutual support and without judgement.

Families are asked to bring something that reminds them of their loved one, using this as a tool to talk about the family member who passed away, what they liked to do, and what they enjoyed. The comfort and safety of joining together with people untied through this utterly unique experience of grief aims to provide support, positive memories, and closure. The event will end with a small meal for everyone to mingle and chat.
