Enjoy a wide range of exclusive experiences, learn new skills, and hear from some of your local experts on a variety of subjects across the whole spectrum of wellbeing.

Carrie and I will be there to deliver our Funeral Wishes Workshop on Tuesday 10th September.

There’s more information on this link, but if you’ve wanted to learn how to plan your funeral and understand the options available to you then read on!

During this workshop you will discover that talking about death can be both enlightening and strangely liberating as you explore the host of possibilities that lie before you.  We break through the taboo of never talking about the end of our days, and help you plan something which reflects you personally, whilst giving space for those who care about you to input too.

How do we buy a funeral that’s right for us and includes the things our family and friends will value, and how do we find a funeral director that understands us for who we are? Just a few of the questions we’ll be tackling.

This is a ticketed event but as partners we’re able to offer a 10% discount with the following code: CWFNATUN19
