Moments That Matter - Dying Matters Awareness Week

Event summary:

  • From 4 - 10 May
Submit your piece

This year, we’re creating a special community exhibition and are asking our community to be part of it. Whether you express yourself through creative writing, poetry, art, photography or another creative method, we are encouraging people to share their creative expressions through emotions and shared experiences around death, dying and grief.

Your submissions will be displayed in venues across the Dudley Borough during Dying Matters Awareness Week, and installed in an online exhibition.

Everyone is welcome to take part, whether it's individually, as part of a community group, or with friends and family. 
If you’re wondering where to begin, you might reflect on:
  • The moments in life that matter most to you
  • If you had one more day with someone who has died, how you would spend it
  • What’s on your bucket list and why
Your contribution could help open up conversations and connect our community through shared experiences.
