In the words of others...

‘How people die remains in the memory of those who live on’

Dame Cicely Saunders

Bereavement is a darkness impenetrable to the imagination of the unbereaved.

Iris Murdoch (British Novelist and Philosopher, 1919-1999)

Carers: further information

These pages have been compiled by the organisations below who came together under a NCPC-Carers Trust project to explore the needs of carers at the end of life.

We are very grateful to Helen Hume and Roberta Lovick who brought their own experience of caring for someone close at the end of life to this project; their insights were invaluable.

Each organisation’s own resources on carers and end of life care can be viewed by clicking on the logos below.

All of the organisations involved in the project are members of the Dying Matters coalition. They are united by a shared belief that carers as absolutely essential in helping more people experience the good death they want and deserve. 

If you’re aware of other resources, projects or examples of good practice on this topic please email policy@ncpc.org.uk
