Let’s Talk
Hot on the heals of the announcement that Birmingham has been crowned the UK’s first Compassionate City we are releasing our May 2022 programme. This year we will be focused on the hyperlocal, taking conversations about death, dying and loss into community centres, burial grounds, arts centres and cafes.
Creating spaces for our communities to provide support, space, togetherness and understanding for those undergoing the experiences of death, dying, loss and caregiving.
So that together we can move towards a society which talks openly and honestly about death, dying and loss.
Events can be found here

During our festival and beyond we work with community groups and individuals on projects such as making In Memoriam inspired flags, which you can see in our gallery here.
