Life doesn’t always unfold the way we expect. For many of us, loss, disruption, and uncertainty aren’t occasional experiences - they are a part of everyday life.

The Eastern Bay Community Foundation (EBCF), alongside our proud partners Gateway Funeral Service, invites you to a powerful Community Keynote and Expo designed to uplift, connect, and strengthen our region.

We are incredibly privileged to host internationally renowned resilience expert Dr Lucy Hone for her vital keynote: How Will I Ever Get Through This? Practical, compassionate tools to navigate grief, loss, and life’s toughest moments.

Moving beyond unhelpful messages to “just stay positive,” Dr Lucy Hone draws on her globally recognised research and deeply personal lived experience to share a fresh, realistic approach to resilience. Whether you are facing bereavement, illness, financial strain, or the quiet "living losses" that shape our lives, this session will equip you with the tools to take the next step forward.
