This project aims to encourage ‘lively ’conversations around planning for end of life, death and dying. Comedy is one approach that can have a real impact, helping people to relax, share their stories and process their thoughts and experiences in a supportive way whilst enjoying the many benefits of The Good Grief Club membership.

The Good Grief Club is open to anyone (aged 55+) to come along and meet with creative facilitators Briege McClean & Anthea McWilliams who will share humour, stories, jokes and oh yes, some creativity too whilst exploring with everyone the art of living, dying, death (defying) and defining. The 2-hour workshop will invite participants to share their own stories, thoughts, fears and future plans around the inevitable, through:

• making something simple

• writing something easy

• with a wee bit of music to kick your heels up to (in the absence of a bucket!) to finish us all off.

• joke-telling will be encouraged

“Come along if you know what’s good for you!”
