Dying Matters Week Hawke's Bay 2025 Programme

Dying Matters Week Hawke’s Bay

Dying Matters Week connects people across Aotearoa to start conversations in a safe space, learn from local experts and seek support for later life, end-of-life planning and to navigate grief or loss.

The inaugural 2025 event for Hawkes Bay centred in Hastings, with the aim of offering a range of opportunities to broaden the discourse around death, learn from local expertise, find support and information for end-of-life planning, and navigate grief or loss.

2026 events will take place from Monday 7th to Sunday 13th September in Hastings and Napier. For more information, please email Alysha or Sandie.
