EASE wins an award

We’re delighted to announce that End of Life Aid Skills for Everyone (EASE), our public education course on death and dying, has won an award.

Run by the ALLIANCE, the Self Management Awards take place each year to celebrate the best of Self Management support across Scotland. This year, the winners were announced at the Self Management Awards ceremony which took place during Self Management Week on Wednesday 25 September. 

EASE won in the category ‘Best Self-Management Resource’ - a category designed to recognise resources that help people to cope with and manage their own condition.

The award is fantastic recognition of the work of all the volunteer facilitators who give up their time to make the course happen in communities across Scotland.  

End of Life Aid Skills for Everyone (EASE) is an innovative course enabling people across Scotland to be more comfortable and confident supporting family and community members with issues they face during dying, death and bereavement. It’s delivered free of charge by volunteer facilitators.

EASE uses films, reading, activities and discussion to explore topics such as planning ahead for ill-health, dying and death; common symptoms towards the end of life; and practical support we can offer people who are caring, dying or grieving. Participants learn and share in a supportive environment, helping to build a sense of community and empowerment.
