Let’s Talk 2025
Our 2025 Matter of Life & Death Festival will take place on 5-11th May, as part of Dying Matter Awareness Week. Once again it will feature community events, discussions, themed walks and author talks across Birmingham and beyond.
Creating spaces with our communities provides support, space, togetherness and understanding for those undergoing the experiences of death, dying, loss and care giving.
We run this festival and other events throughout the year so that together we can move towards a society which talks openly and honestly about death, dying and loss.
