Death, Dying and Religion

Spirituality at the End of Life | a free event from Trinity Hospice

On Thursday 21 May, 6:30pm – 8:30pm, Trinity Hospice in Clapham is hosting a special, free event about the role of spiritual care at the end of life, followed by a Q&A session. Everyone is welcome to join, including healthcare professionals, community leaders and members of the public.

This event is being held as part of Dying Matters Awareness Week, which encourages people to talk about dying, death and bereavement and make plans for their end of life.

The panel includes:
