Assisted dying is when a terminally ill, mentally competent adult, making the choice of their own free will and after meeting strict legal safeguards, takes prescribed medication which will end their life.

Assisted dying is currently illegal in the UK.

Dying in Dignity believe the current law is not working because it forces some dying people to suffer against their wishes.

With our members and supporters we are campaigning for the law change to allow assisted dying – a campaign with overwhelming public support.

Come and listen to why we believe the law should be changed.

Doors open 6.30pm - talk starts at 7pm.
