Demystifying Death Small Grants
Demystifying Death Small Grants
Demystifying death week is about shining a light on death, dying and bereavement in scotland.
Taking place across Scotland from 2-6 May, the week is about giving people knowledge, skills and opportunities to plan and support each other through death, dying, loss and care.
A small grants scheme has been launched to help people run events, whether face-to-face or online.
The grants (of up to £100) can be applied for to fund activities that take place in DD Week that meet one or more of the following aims:
- Help people to find ways of dealing with their own experiences of death, dying and bereavement;
- Help individuals and communities to support those who are experiencing difficult times associated with death, dying and bereavement;
- Support NHS and social care staff and volunteers to work compassionately and constructively with those who are dying or have been recently bereaved;
- Help people to make practical preparations for their death, for example Will, Power of Attorney and Anticipatory Care Planning;
- Promote openness/discussion of death, dying and bereavement.
For instance, someone might want to host a cafe-style event using one of our conversation menus and need the grant to get some refreshments. Or an organisation could arrange a local solicitor or funeral director to run an information session on planning for the end of life and need the grant to hire a room. We're open to all ideas.
Further resources and ideas relating to DD Week events is available here: Organise an event.
