Compassion in Dying

What we do

We can help you prepare for the end of life. How to talk about it, plan for it, and record your wishes.

We can support you to plan for your treatment and care, in case a time comes when you can’t make decisions. This helps you get the support that’s right for you, when you need it. When what matters most to you is known and recorded, it makes it easier for your family, friends and healthcare professionals to follow your wishes, giving everyone peace of mind.

We help people through our free information line, publications and resources. We specialise in supporting people to make Advance Decisions (‘Living Wills’) and to talk about their goals and priorities when living with a life-changing illness. Our free online service helps people to record their wishes for care in a legally binding way.

Who do we support

We provide free information to help people understand their options. This includes booklets for people at the end of life or living with life-changing illness. We provide Advance Statements and Advance Decisions (‘Living Wills’) for people who want to record their wishes for care, or who have views about treatment they wouldn’t want to receive.
