New Project to Give People a Better End of Life

3 July 2017 By Sue

Everyone has the right to a good death, but less than 30% of us have had a conversation with family members about their wishes for end of life. A new Lottery funded project, sponsored by leading East Devon charity Action East Devon, aims to put an end to the taboo of talking about death by organising ‘Death Café Conversations’ across East Devon. Death Cafes are being held across East Devon. Forthcoming Death Cafes can be found at www.deathcafe.com.

Passing Matters is also teaming up with Citizens Advice Bureau East Devon, to deliver ‘Putting Your Affairs in Order’ information sessions and practical 1:1 support. These will explain terms such as Mental Capacity, Lasting Power of Attorney and Advance Directives and Wills. The third strand of the Passing Matters project is a specialist visiting service for people in the very end stages of life. Volunteers will be trained, supervised and supported to visit, share the journey, bring social contact, give carers a break or just keep vigil.

For more information on Passing Matters or to become a trained specialist volunteer for the project contact Gill Amos at Action East Devon Tel: 01404 549045 / Email: gill.amos@actioneastdevon.org.uk
