Death, dying, and grief are universal human experiences, and improving support means engaging with policymakers across the political spectrum. Our charity's role is to contribute our experience and policy recommendations to these conversations, independently of party political alignment.
With that purpose, we attended the Green Party Conference this weekend to share recommendations on funeral practices, health and social care, and inclusive end-of-life care.
Our fringe session included an exploration of the changes needed to improve care for q***r and Global Majority individuals, and to ensure that care and funeral practices respect people of all faiths and none. Everyone should have access to support that recognises their identity, relationships, beliefs and wishes.
We were very pleased to share the stage with Lucas, one of our members, who chaired our session.
We also had many meaningful conversations with attendees who were caring for someone at the end-of-life or interested in training to become end of life doulas themselves.
Our policy recommendations draw on the experiences of the people our members support, our community work across the UK, and the wealth of knowledge within our membership. We are keen to work with elected representatives across parties, at local and national levels, to improve end-of-life care and support within communities - if you'd like to speak to us please get in touch.
