Talk to local businesses at Dying Matters Week Expos
Some conversations are easier face to face. This Dying Matters Week, expos around the country are bringing together the people and organisations who support us through death, dying, and grief, all under one roof, so you can walk up, ask a question, and get a real answer from someone who knows the subject inside out.
These expos are a chance to meet local hospices, funeral directors, end of life doulas, grief counsellors, wellbeing practitioners, emergency services, GPs, and a whole range of other organisations who don’t often get the spotlight. There’s no pressure and no obligation, just an open room full of people ready to talk. Take your time, wander between stalls, and start the conversations that matter, whether you’re planning ahead, supporting someone you love, or simply curious to learn more.
Expo-style events around the country
This Dying Matters Week, take the opportunity to meet the people behind the services in your local area. Why not make a day of it – stay the talks, have some kai, start your planning and conversations. Everyone is welcome, nau mai, haere mai, hoki mai koutou.
