Dying Matters Awareness Week 2012

Dying Matters Awareness Week, 14-20 May 2012

A 2011 Dying Matters Awareness Week event in Sefton

The theme of the week is ‘Small Actions, Big Difference’. By being more open about dying and taking small actions such as writing a will, signing up to become an organ donor or looking out for those who have been recently bereaved, we can all help make a big difference to ensuring people can live well and die well. 

5 small actions you can take immediately to help make Awareness Week a big success:
  1. Tell us and others about your event by adding it to our Events Calendar. 
  2. Spread the word within your organisation about Dying Matters Awareness Week 2012 and its ‘Small Actions, Big Difference’ theme.
  3. Show your support on your organisation’s website or in your emails by downloading our Awareness Week banner or button.
  4.  If you or your organisation aren't already, become a Dying Matters Coalition member * sign up for our e-newsletter * follow us on Facebook and Twitter (if you're tweeting about Awareness Week, please use the hashtag #DyingMatters) * join in the conversation in the Dying Matters Community Area.
  5. After Awareness Week, share what you did with us - email info@dyingmatters.org.uk

    6. A Dying Matters 2011 hospice event
