It will soon be a year since our End of our End of Life Rights Advocacy Project was launched and as work starts to wind down in preparation for the festive period, I have been inevitably evaluating what we have achieved during the past twelve months.
Word is spreading about our project in East London and as a consequence we have been invited to speak at several larger events around London recently.
The End of Life Advocacy Project was launched in January by Compassion in Dying in partnership with Age UK (East London).
As well as providing training and support in East London we have, as many of you reading this will know, been also providing training to another Silver Dreams and on request to other services across England.
I’ve just been reading Sharing learning through blogging, and as always when reading another good blog it makes me reflect upon what is happening with our project.
Last week Verena spent time delivering two training sessions to staff at The Subco Trust. Subco provides support to Asian elders from the Sub-Continent over the age of 55 years, with a particular focus on those who are frail, isolated and house bound.
We were delighted to learn this week that we have been invited by Big Lottery Silver Dreams Fund to submit a full application for the roll out funding.
Over the past 10 days I have not stopped thinking about end-of-life rights and choices. This has mostly been because I’ve been preparing our expression of interest for flagship funding through the Big Lottery Silver Dreams Fund – Flagship Grants.
We had an excellent meeting this week with our Age UK East London partners about the project.
