Dying Matters Week Event: Reading community conversation on dying well

As part of Dying Matters Week (5–11 May), Reading Council is hosting a free community event to explore what it means to die well, with support from Healthwatch Reading.

All Reading residents and communities are invited to a free community event on dying and end-of-life care. Join us in a safe, welcoming space to share your thoughts, ask questions and learn more. No registration required, just turn up to the event on the day.

This event is open to all — whether you are facing a terminal illness, caring or supporting someone who is, or simply wanting to understand more about death and what it means to die well.
