Dying Matters Awareness Week - 14 to 20 May 2012

The Dying Matters Awareness week takes place between 14 & 20 May 2012.

The theme of the week is ‘Small Actions, Big Difference’.

By being more open about dying and taking small actions such as writing a will, signing up to become an organ donor or looking out for those who have been recently bereaved, we can all help make a big difference to ensuring people can live well and die well.
