Dying Matters Awareness Week: local events

The theme for this year is “The Culture of Dying Matters”, highlighting how our conversations around the end of life are shaped by background, culture and community.

These free events are open to all and will explore how different faiths and cultures approach death, dying and bereavement.

Visitors will have the chance to chat informally with staff from Sue Ryder Hospices, who will be available to share information about the support and bereavement services available and can explain how Sue Ryder works to support the diverse community during challenging times.

Everyone is welcome to attend - no booking is required.

Please come along, join the conversation, and help break down the stigma around death and dying.

Let’s keep talking. Let’s make dying matter.

We’re proud to be working with Gloucestershire Libraries and the Registration Service to host two in-person Culture of Dying events.
