We are very pleased to announce that the National Association of Palliative Care NAPC has decided to join our directory and work with ABC to gain greater awareness of their work. If you visit Senior Citizens > Bereavement you can learn more about the organisations and their inspiring work. Please also support The Dying Matters awareness week starting May 18th - 24th. You can find more information in: Events.

In their own words:

The Coalition’s Mission is to help people talk more openly about dying, death and bereavement, and to make plans for the end of life. This will involve a fundamental change in society in which dying, death and bereavement will be seen and accepted as the natural part of everybody’s life cycle. Changes in the way society views dying and death have impacted on the experience of people who are dying and bereaved. Our lack of openness has affected the quality and range of support and care services available to patients and families. It has also affected our ability to die where or how we would wish.

The Dying Matters Coalition is working to address this by encouraging people to talk about their wishes towards the end of their lives, including where they want to die and their funeral plans with friends, family and loved ones.
