The second annual Sawubona virtual conference will be taking place on 6th May 2025, from 9:30am - 3:30pm. Hosted in partnership with Hospice UK and Good Grief Festival, the conference is free to attend.

Sawubona is a national research forum focused on Equity in Palliative Care for All. At this conference, forum members will showcase and debate current research and future directions to tackle inequity in palliative care.

The Culture of Dying Matters is our theme for Dying Matters Awareness Week this year, from Monday 5th – Sunday 11th May.

We may all talk about death and dying in a multitude of ways, but we share a common thread. That’s why this year we’re focusing on how different communities and cultures in the UK feel, talk about, and deal with death and dying – and what brings them together.

It’s easy for your hospice to get involved by planning an event or information stand during the week, or by simply by engaging with the campaign on social media. Our Supporter Resource packs will be ready for your comms teams to download in early March.
