Following the success of last year’s event and in partnership with key health, social care and third sector organisations from Hull & East Riding are holding a Celebration of Life Event on 15 May 2019 at Hull Minster from 10am-4pm as part of Dying Matters Week.
The event is about organisations and professionals getting together to inform each other and members of the public about celebrating life and planning for end of life. We are currently in the planning stage and if you would like to part of such an innovative event where our aim is to ensure that life is celebrated and that we talk about death and not make it such a taboo subject
Our aim is to ensure:
that life is celebrated and that we talk about death and not make it such a taboo subject
that the public are informed about choices available to them

We are currently in the planning stage and have a steering group made up of services from hard to reach groups in Hull & East Riding
