Demystifying Death Week 2022
Taking place across Scotland from 2-6 May, Demystifying Death Week is about shining a light on death, dying and bereavement in Scotland. We are encouraging people to get involved by holding online events that bring death, dying and bereavement into the limelight.
Below is a list of events registered so far - these pages will be updated over the coming weeks. If you are organising an event, please get in touch.
Cuppa and a conversation
Organised by No-one Dies Alone Ayrshire. 11.30am, Friday 6 May, TACT Saltcoats, 27 Vernon Street.

Coffee Morning
St Andrew’s High Church in Musselburgh between 10.30 and 12.30 on Saturday 7 May.
Join us for a Coffee Morning with a difference: a relaxed and informal place to think about the hard side of life- Death.
Perhaps it is thinking ahead for yourself, supporting a friend or family member, or with the death of a loved one.
Tea/Coffee will be provided.
LET'S TALK ABOUT IT.

Stone Painting and Strawberry Planting
Organised by Battlefield Community Project. Sunday 8th May, 1.00-3.00pm. Battlefield Community Garden, Ledard Rd, Glasgow G42 9RE.
Battlefield Community Project would like to invite you to a very special gardening session!
We have been working hard to create a welcoming space for the whole community to enjoy, and are now planning our latest addition - a memorial strawberry patch!
This new space will be home to a collection of strawberry plants (and hopefully some strawberries too!) as well as painted stones representing people who have died and who members of the community wish to remember. So please come along, paint a stone, share a story and help us create a compassionate community that supports everyone affected by death, dying and bereavement.
We welcome everyone, whether you are local to Battlefield or not. All material will be provided on the day, the only thing you need to bring is an open mind.
You are welcome to just come along on the day, but if you have any questions or would like more information please email Jenny Watt at jrf.watt@outlook.com
