In 2025, Dying Matters Awareness Week, championed by the charity Hospice UK, took place from 5 – 11 May. The theme of the 2025 campaign was: The Culture of Dying Matters. Every year, people around the UK use Dying Matters Awareness Week as a moment to encourage all communities to get talking in whatever way, shape or form works for them. You can find out more here

We participated in Dying Matters Awareness Week by hosting a You Only Die Once Café at Dickens Café. We showed the film the Culture of Dying matters and encouraged everyone to share their thoughts promoting an open culture where people feel comfortable to talk about death, dying and grief. Thank you to everyone who participated.
