TALK: Planning Ahead for the One Thing in Life we know is certain: Death. Tuesday 14th May 18:30 at the East Dulwich Tavern


Recommended Posts

Join us on Tuesday for a stimulating and thought provoking practical talk about planning ahead.

Planning ahead for the one thing in life we know is certain: Death

Ann Kenrick and Trevor Moore will lead an interactive, informative and thought provoking evening explaining the key decisions you can make in advance, to ease the burden on your family and friends if you lose mental capacity and when your life finally ends: formal matters like Lasting Powers of Attorney for financial affairs and for health and care and Advance Decisions to refuse medical treatment; informal matters like the type of funeral you would like and end-of-life care options.

Let's embrace this sensitive topic and take steps to create a legacy of care and consideration for others.

Ann Kenrick is former CEO of the Charterhouse almshouse, member of the Education and Research Committee of St Christopher's Hospice and founder of End of Life Matters, a venture supporting people of all ages to create end of life plans and give them peace of mind.

Trevor Moore is a humanist celebrant and Chair of My Death, My Decision.

    • It has come to this author’s attention that the world of 4+ admissions — that most enigmatic of educational rites — continues to bewilder even the most composed of parents. Fear not. For in a former life, I was not merely a humble observer, but a seasoned educator of over twenty years, and Head of Pre-Prep for a distinguished dozen. Now, with quill exchanged for touchscreen, I have taken to that most modern of salons — Instagram — to dispense guidance, answer frequently whispered questions, and illuminate the shadowy corners of school selection with clarity and calm. Each post bears my signature twist: a blend of insight, levity, and the occasional raised eyebrow. Should you find yourself adrift in the sea of admissions, I suggest you peruse my latest dispatch. It may well be the lifeline you seek. The Delicate Dilemma of the Summer-born 4+ Scholars Yours in solidarity and scholastic savvy, Lord Pencilton  🎩✏️
    • Perhaps Gooseygreeny was not familiar with the wildlife before Gala was imposed on the park, since when its value to wildlife has deteriorated. The Park had never been disturbed before, as the council had respected it as a Site of Importance for Nature Conservation, so only the Common was licensed by them as a site for events. The first time Gala held their event, there was a tree with woodpeckers nesting in it right in the middle of the main field they used and thrushes, blackbirds and great tits nesting within the shrubs and trees immediately surrounding the field. The woodpeckers were thriving on ants from the anthills in the grass. To those of us who used to enjoy watching the wildlife, it was very obviously a Site of Importance for a variety of birds. Despite being accessed by the public and their dogs, it had been relatively undisturbed,  which was one of the main reasons why it was so special and why I have been opposed to the Gala festival being held during the bird nesting season.
