Supporting the End of Life Network Launch: Why These Conversations Matter
On Monday evening of this week, we were proud to sponsor the launch of the End of Life Network—an important initiative aimed at encouraging open, compassionate conversations about death, dying, and planning ahead.
As solicitors, we see the real-life impact that good planning—or lack of it—can have. Talking about end-of-life wishes isn’t easy, but it’s one of the most important steps you can take to protect your loved ones and ensure your voice is heard.
The Need Is Growing
Between 2019 and 2023, demand for palliative care rose by 15%, and it’s projected to increase by 25% by 2040. Meanwhile, the average age for someone to suffer an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest is just 65.4 years – a stark reminder that life can change suddenly.
Despite this, many people haven’t put legal plans in place, leaving families to make difficult decisions without guidance.
How We Can Help
We can support you with:
Wills – to protect your estate and loved ones
Lasting Powers of Attorney – to ensure someone you trust can act on your behalf
Advance Decisions & funeral wishes – to make your values known
These legal tools give you peace of mind and take pressure off your family when it matters most.
Let’s Start the Conversation
We’re honoured to support the End of Life Network and its mission to break the silence around end-of-life planning. These conversations aren’t morbid – they’re empowering.
If you haven’t yet made your wishes clear, we’re here to help you take that first step.
