About Dying Matters Awareness Week in the United Kingdom

"Created in 2009, Dying Matters Awareness Week is spearheaded by the National Council for Palliative Car. Few things are certain in life, but two are for sure. Every human being on this planet is born and every human being will die. The fact is we only get one chance to have our dying wishes met, which is why it’s so vital to talk, plan and make arrangements for the end of life – before it’s too late. That’s why the theme of our fifth annual Dying Matters Awareness Week is 'Dying Matters: You only die once'.

The week will take place from 12-18 May 2014 and, as ever, we’ll be supporting it with a full range of resources, including new information materials, advice on organising your own events, resources to help you engage with local media, and much more.
Awareness Week launch event - all welcome

Our fantastic launch event in London will take place on 13 January 2014, and we'll be offering tips and advice on how you can help us maximise public awareness during the week. The packed programme includes key sessions covering:

You only die once: practical steps to live and die well

Changing people’s approach to dying: local, regional and national perspectives

Maximising your impact during awareness week

Action planning sessions

Communicating the Dying Matters message: why it's so important

On the day, we’ll have interactive sessions with a wide range of speakers, so whether you have already started to make plans for Awareness Week or would like some ideas to get you started, you’ll find support and advice relevant to you and your colleagues."
