Whether you care to talk, or talk to care – let’s get together #InAGoodPlace.
At Carers Network, we believe in the value of an open conversation about death and the importance of finding a good place where people feel able to listen and support those who are planning for the last years of life or end of life, who are dying and who have been bereaved.
The lack of openness in our communities affects the quality and range of support and care available to patients and their families.
Dying Matters is an opportunity for the community to come together in a good place to open up conversations around life, death, bereavement, and future planning. We can all do it together.
Join us at one or all of our events below through Dying Matters Awareness Week during the w/c 10 May .
