Let’s Talk
This year A Matter of Life & Death focused on the hyperlocal, taking conversations about death, dying and loss into community centres, burial grounds, arts centres and cafes.
Creating spaces with our communities provided 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.
