Cambridge Widows

Cambridge Widows We are a group of widows who come together to provide support and connection. We are mostly aged 45-65.

We’ve been thrown into a world we didn’t want and struggle to understand. We help each other navigate this world and we try to have fun doing it.

Thanks to Chris Mann at BBC Cambridgeshire for welcoming Cambridge Widows Judy Reith onto his show this week

We love talking about all we're doing at Cambridge Widows to help make the overwhelm of grief and widowhood just that little bit easier to bear. We offer acceptance, connection and friendship to anyone whose life partner has died in and around Cambridge.

And the highlight of our year is The Widowed Sing.

A pop-up choir day for anyone whose life partner has died, regardless of how long widowed, current relationship status and singing ability!
Anyone widowed, who is part of this club which none of us wanted to join, is warmly welcomed

Booking open!

The Widowed Sing 2026
Saturday 10 October 9am-6pm
Cambridge

We love this day! It’s such a wonderful opportunity to come together with other widowed men and women to experience the connection of singing together - and yes, the joy too! We have a lot of laughs amidst the warmth and emotion of the day.

And the best news is, you don’t need to be able to sing! Many of those who come every year have never sung in a choir before or were told at school that they couldn’t sing. It’s not about being able to sing, it’s about the fun and connection that comes from meeting those who get it without words.

We had a great party last night to celebrate our second year as Cambridge Widows!

Widows and widowers along with family, friends and supporters joined us to mark another successful year. It was so lovely to see everyone in the room and to have the chance to celebrate a happy anniversary for once. We’re so proud of the community we’ve built and the friendships made.

We raised a glass (or two!) and we lit a candle to our loved ones no longer with us, without whom Cambridge Widows would not exist. This is a very special group and we thank everybody who is part of it.

We also thank everyone who donated on the night to help us cover our costs. This enables us to keep going for another year and to continue to bring widows and widowers together in peer support and friendship.

More to come this coming year with monthly drinks, cinema trips and walks alongside workshops, creative events and our Widowed Sing choir day. Keep an eye on the events page on our website to find out what we’re doing. And get in touch to find out more!
