BrumYODO CIC
a growing group of artists, undertakers, hospices, solicitors, palliative care professionals, arts and heritage organisations, community ambassadors and generally all round interesting folk. We believe there is such a thing as a good death – but it will only happen if we, the people demand it. We will only demand it if we understand what we need to demand, and we will only understand it if we talk about it. In 2020 we turned four and in that time we have organised, generated and worked with the following…
