Our Journey in Action
Where we’ve been, what’s next, and the recognition that keeps us going
At The Flying Fish Company®, we believe real change begins with real conversations. This page brings together the moments we’ve already shared and the events still to come, from exhibitions and speaking engagements to community sessions and live online gatherings.
It’s a space to celebrate how our mission continues to grow, creating more compassionate, grief-aware workplaces and helping people feel more confident when loss touches their lives.
We’re proud to be part of a movement that is reshaping how we talk about grief, kindness and support in workplaces, communities and beyond.

Grief Awareness Week 2025
Reflect. Connect. Share what helps.
Join us for a special event this December
In honour of Grief Awareness Week 2025, The Flying Fish Company® will be hosting a gentle lunchtime event to encourage reflection, conversation and connection.
In the lead-up, I am inviting people to share short Stories of Kindness, moments, gestures or words that made a difference when grief touched their life. Some of these reflections will be read anonymously during the session to inspire others and help us all feel more confident in how we reach out and support.
The session, titled “Seeds of Hope”, will take place on Monday 1 December, 12.30–1.15 pm (UK) and is open to anyone who wants to understand grief and the simple acts of kindness that can help.
It is an opportunity to pause, learn and share ideas about what really helps when words fall short.
Please complete the form below to register for this free lunchtime event.
You will receive an email with the Teams joining link and reminder details a few days before the session.
Cameras are optional, and there is no expectation to share personal experiences. You are very welcome to simply listen, reflect and take part in a way that feels right for you.

Health and Wellbeing at Work Event
Birmingham NEC 2025
In March 2025, we had the privilege of exhibiting at the UK’s leading Health and Wellbeing at Work event, held at the NEC Birmingham. Over the course of several days, we connected with professionals from across the country-HR leaders, healthcare providers, educators and changemakers, who are all committed to building kinder, more supportive working cultures.
Our stand was a little under the sea sanctuary of hope, where we introduced visitors to our Workplace Grief Awareness Series, shared stories and opened powerful conversations about loss and resilience. The response was heartfelt and humbling.
It was a reminder that so many people are ready for change and that grief training isn’t just needed, it’s wanted.
Thank you to everyone who visited our stand, asked questions, shared a moment, or simply stopped to connect. We see you, And we’re so glad you’re part of this growing wave of awareness.
Below are a few snapshots from our time at the NEC, full of human connection, brave conversations and moments that made this event truly special.
