Do take a look at the new Good Grief Hub from the brilliant team @GoodGriefFest

It's full of thoughtful & practical resources for people living with terminal illness and anyone who has experienced some kind of grief or loss.

We urgently need volunteers to start in January in a very rewarding role.

Giving just a few hours a week, you can make a really meaningful difference to people's lives.

If this could be you or someone you know, please share or get in touch. https://t.co/bWo3MgyY90

Thank you!

@_zachmoss Glad you are OK Zach. It’s great you wrote this. I hope you can have a more relaxed walk with Reilly soon!

As a carer, finding time to prioritise your own future can be difficult.

Working alongside @CarersHub we're pleased to launch a new Advance Statement, designed specifically with and for carers.
