This film from our No Barriers Here study shares the stories & end of life choices of people often excluded from palliative care due to identity, culture, ethnicity & race.

Because dignity, choice & individualised care matters for everyone

It’s #DyingMattersAwarenessWeek, so I decided to publish a blog post that I’d been holding back, as I worried it was too focused on loss - but I guess this is the week for it: dementiainthefamily.com/2025/05/08/t...

During #DyingMattersAwarenessWeek we’re reminded that talking about death is a way to honour life.

Conversations about last wishes and legacy ease uncertainty and help our family and friends understand what we need.

Let’s make space to have these conversations. Let’s make death part of life💜
