Dying Matters
Dying Matters is a broad based and inclusive national coalition of more than 15,000 members, which aims to change public knowledge, attitudes and behaviours towards death, dying and bereavement.
Overgate Hospice supports the Dying Matters campaign and believes that talking openly about death means that people can plan how they are cared for at the end of life.
