We can help you to get ‘Everything in Place’.
For most of us thinking about death and dying isn’t easy at all. Understandably we shy away from the topic and change the subject.
At St Cuthbert’s Hospice we launched Everything in Place to help make talking about death and our own future wishes as easy as possible. We want to help break the taboos that surround death and dying and support these conversations to be open and less scary. Getting Everything in Place now can make it all a little bit easier in the future.
The project aims to get people talking about physical, emotional, spiritual aspects, alongside practical issues like care plans and wills. Sessions are free to attend and delivered as a program or course either in person, or online.
It can be a comfort knowing you have the right documents prepared and we have an easy to follow workbook to help support the discussions. Feedback from past participants is that the sessions are informative, accessible and light-hearted.
It’s not scary, it’s not gloomy. Just impartial information that will help you on your way to getting your affairs in order.
We currently have two courses on offer, a face-to-face course starting at Bullion Hall Chester-le-Street on Monday 14th October 2024 1pm-3pm.
An online course starts on Friday 20th September, in partnership with Durham County Carers, delivered over Teams.

The sessions make a difficult subject very accessible and topics are handled in a light-hearted way. I’d encourage anyone to take part, and don’t be worried about it. Everyone is in the same boat. It’s a great way to understand, and start to put things into action for the future.
If you would like to find out more about taking part in the sessions, email Project Lead Louise Johnson on louise.johnson@stcuthbertshospice.com.
