Mountbatten's CEO, Nigel Hartley, says he hopes The Art of Dying Well will encourage more people to feel supported to start having important conversations, using the medium of arts and performance.
The Go Yellow fundraising drive starts today (Saturday) and runs until 7 October. Why not wear, eat or do something yellow to raise funds to support Mountbatten’s work?
A feature length film which explores the moment of death and why it is such taboo in our society is due for general release in September. It was filmed on the Isle of Wight at the Mountbatten hospice over 12 months.
An incredible £56,000 has been raised for Mountbatten since DECADeANCE began and Tony recently presented a cheque for an amazing £12,300 raised through last year’s party.
Last year's event saw 600 runners take part and raising over £20,000 to support Islanders and their families. This year's event has moved to a cooler time of the year to avoid the sweltering heat.
Mountbatten’s mission is to ensure more Islanders are able to access its services much sooner in their illness, with notable progress already being made, thanks to a number of new projects.
Mountbatten Shanklin has become the second Mountbatten shop to provide a dedicated information area highlighting the many services the leading end of life care charity now provides.
Who would speak up for you, if you could no longer speak for yourself? That is the question Mountbatten is urging Islanders to think about as part of Dying Matters Awareness Week (Monday 14 May – Sunday 20 May 2018).
Karl Stedman’s latest exhibition can be found at Mountbatten's Art Gallery. It includes these brightly coloured conical shapes which have been painstakingly made from thousands of hand-rolled coloured paper discs. Well worth a visit.
Mountbatten's CEO says that with their new Patron's support, many more people will start to realise how vital their fundraising is to how Mountbatten can care for people facing death, dying and bereavement in the future.
