PATCH encourages communities to get talking as part of Dying Matters Awareness Week
PATCH is this week supporting Dying Matters Awareness Week (2-6 May), as part of a national campaign to open up conversations around death and dying, how and where we die, and what care and support we have in place.
The Covid-19 pandemic had meant many more people have experienced to loss of a loved one, many at home and without the right emotional and practical support they need. Never before has opening up conversations about long term illness, death and talking to friends, relatives and loved ones in advance been so important.
