About this Death Cafe

**Emily Engel** -

Emily co-founded West London Death Café six years ago after becoming involved in working with individuals and their loved ones who are facing death. She recognised a profound need for community spaces where people could come together to discuss their fears, hopes, and experiences related to death. She has recently stepped away from the running the West London Death Café but promises to join us whenever she can.

**F. Tienga Ngale** -

Tienga is a qualified social worker with many years of experience in community work, dedicating his career to supporting vulnerable individuals and families.

In his role as an End of Life Carers Project Manager, he specialised in providing support to those who are caring for a dying friend or relative. This role required a unique set of skills, as he not only offered practical assistance but also addressed the emotional and psychological needs of the carers during one of the most challenging periods of their lives. Tienga's work involved helping these carers navigate their responsibilities while ensuring they had access to the necessary resources and emotional support.

Additionally, Tienga provided bereavement support to individuals grappling with the loss of a loved one. He understood that grief is a deeply personal and complex experience, and he was committed to helping people find their way through it. His empathetic approach allowed him to connect with those in mourning, offering a safe space for them to express their feelings and begin the healing process.

His academic background, combined with his extensive practical experience, enables him to approach conversations about death and dying with both compassion and insight. Tienga's dedication to his work and his commitment to lifelong learning make him a valuable asset to the community he serves.
