A hospice is launching a campaign to get people talking about the reality of death.

Peace Hospice Care is running #EveryDayCounts campaign during Dying Matters Week from May 14 to 20.

The campaign asks members of the public to what is on their bucket list and what they want to do, experience, and who with, before they die.

Jackie Tritton, director of patient services and quality said: “As a society we tend to avoid talking about death.

"But it’s an inevitable fact and we really need to be much more open about it.

"It’s only by doing that that it can become the norm and we can help to ensure more people have their wishes for life and death looked after.

"We all want to live as well as possible and to, when the time comes, die with dignity.

"I do hope this campaign will get many more people thinking, and talking about this, and expressing their wishes.”

Anyone interested can contribute their responses by post, email or via social media, via written text, photos, videos.

More information is available at Peace Hospice Care’s website, at: www.peacehospicecare.org.uk/everydaycounts and via the charity’s Facebook, Twitter and Instagram pages.

The #EveryDayCounts campaign will run until October and help to highlight the importance of talking about death and dying including expressing wishes, writing wills and care plans.
