Overview

 

This section is dedicated to healthcare professionals, end of life specialists and carers who work within this difficult sector. We have written a number of resources that you may find of interest including those found on the 'legacy builder area'. You may also be interested in viewing the charity and not for profit initiatives we have ran to date.

We are continually growing our services and our offering. We partner with charities, healthcare professionals, not-for-profits, hospices and funeral directors to do so.

If you would like us to write a tutorial for a specific area online please let us get in touch. We welcome the sharing of ideas and will always credit the contributor and the original source. 

 

Supporting HCPs, chairities and organisations

 

We support the healthcare, funeral, care, charity and hospice sector through diffusion, collaboration, consultancy, workshops, conferences and partnerships. If you would like to discuss how we could help support the people you serve get in touch. Please be aware that we only work with organisations we deem as an ethical. All of our tutorials and support material is independently written and our content will always be free. Any external content provided is independently reviewed and moderated.

 

  • Dying Matters Awareness Week

 

Each year we take over a pop-up space in London and run a series of events from it. In 2014 we helped charities and organisations to 'take over' the space for periods at a time. This enabled them to engage with the community on Camden High Street (a very busy high street in London).

 

 

A list of partners involved with our Dying Matters Awareness Week popup shop in 2014 can be found here

Five steps to sort out you Digital Legacy today

 

In May 2015 we released a new resource to help the general public think about, address and start sorting out their digital legacy.

This is the first ever printed support material (that we know of) that helps the general public address this increasingly important area. Five steps to sort out your Digital Legacy was first made available during Dying Matters Awareness Week 2015. Printed leaflets were delivered and distributed across the UK & Wales. Five steps to sort out your digital legacy today is available in both English and Welsh to help ensure the widest possible reach across the UK. 

Healthcare Professionals, Funeral Directors and End of Life Care Professionals are welcome to download this leaflet, print and distribute to those they serve for free. Simply download the resource in the relevant language below.
