We are proud to, once again, support the annual
Dying Matters Awareness Week, which will take place from 6 - 12 May. This week offers people across the country, the chance to talk openly and frankly about end-of-life issues.
The theme for this year’s week focuses on ‘The way we talk about Dying Matters’, discussing the language we use and the conversations we have about death and dying.
To support the campaign, we've connected with individuals throughout our hospice, encouraging them to share openly about how they discuss dying and the factors shaping their language around death.
Throughout the week, we’ll be sharing conversations on the language that we use, and conversations we have, around death and dying across our social media channels and in the press, inviting our supporters to join the discussions and gain valuable insight into the work we do here at St Luke’s.
Take a moment to think... How do you talk about death and dying?
