My prep mainly relates to sensible footwear choices! Looking forward to National Funeral Exhibition 2024; it's always great to see the profession come together for the show. Also looking forward to presenting on NAFD UK advocacy & media support with Rachel Bradburne & NAFD President on Friday.

1/4: Every day, more than 100 young people in the UK suffer the loss of a parent, sibling or other close family member. A brutal introduction to a subject many of us still don’t like, or don’t know, how to talk about, which can make their experience of #grief even more isolating.

2/4: We teach children about when life begins, why don’t we talk about how we feel and what happens when it ends? The literary, historical, sociological and scientific topics in all four key stages are rich in natural, age-appropriate conversation starters.

3/4: This #GriefAwarenessWeek, can you add your name to NAFD President John’s petition to include awareness of death, dying and bereavement to the Department for Education National Curriculum? John lost his own mum at the age of 12 and knows just how isolating this experience can be.

4/4: Help him get a good conversation started, one that will encourage the next generation to treat death as a part of life, not a taboo - by building a healthy understanding, vocabulary and dialogue around #grief and #bereavement. Sign here: petition.parliament.uk/petitions/6241…

Our campaign to add proactive teaching about #bereavement in schools, led by NAFD President, has taken another step forward. Responding to the petition Department for Education confirms it “will assess whether content on bereavement is needed” in RHSE lessons. nafd.org.uk/2023/03/15/gov…

Last Wednesday, the Funerals and Bereavement APPG met in the Palace of Westminster for an in-person session chaired by Sir Robert Goodwill. It was fantastic to welcome over 40 members of the funerals, burials & cremation industries attending from across the country. (1/2)

The Funerals and Bereavement APPG are pleased to share that the group has been reconstituted following the General Election. We held the inaugural meeting with the Chair, Cat Smith MP, to discuss the issues facing the sector and look forward to continuing our work in this area.

Thank you to Rachel from NAFD and to Meike, Lauren, Daniel and Alison from Co-op Funeralcare for your time. It was very clear from my visit to the Co-op's Leeds site just how much care and attention your staff give to the deceased and their families.
