Section D Achievements and performance
Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year
The activity of the charity in 2022 was necessarily resuming activities and rebuilding contacts which had been suspended due to Covid.
In May 2022, we hosted an afternoon workshop at Missenden Abbey under the title “Leaving Well: How do we encourage discussion to enable a “good death”? How do we co-ordinate care for those approaching the end of their lives?” with two leading palliative care physicians as the main speakers. The workshop was attended by over 50 persons, ranging from health care professionals to members of the local community. Feedback from this event was very positive.
We have continued to run workshops covering practical planning for the end of life, including presentations on Wills, lasting powers of attorney and good funeral planning.
We have attended local charity and volunteering fairs and events to maintain our profile in the community.
Sales of our “My End of Life Plans” workbook have been steady.
