'Write for Rights', Saturday 7 December from 2.00 to 4.30pm

Sandy from Stepneyville

'Write for Rights' is timed to celebrate Human Rights Day on 10 December. This is the world’s biggest human rights event, a moment when Amnesty International’s movement of ten million comes together as one to take action and stand up for freedom, justice and equality.

Collective action pressures authorities around the world to bring those responsible for human rights abuses to justice, and free people wrongfully imprisoned.

We'll be gathering as we do every year, to write letters and send messages of support to victims of human rights abuses around the world.

Venue: Friends Meeting House, 30 Nile St, Nelson.
Date: Saturday 7 December, from 2 to 4.30pm

Please bring a small contribution for a shared afternoon tea. Tea and coffee will be provided.

Please encourage others concerned about human rights issues to come - all welcome!

RSVP: to Karen du Fresne, Amnesty International Planning Committee Email: kdufresne8@gmail.com by Monday 2 December.

A Forum for the General Public: Dying to Know about Dying Matters?

Krisca Gould from Nelson Tasman Hospice

Thursday 20th February 2025, 1pm - 4pm at Nelson Tasman Hospice

Talking about it more, worrying about it less. A workshop the general public can attend.

This forum is for the general public to attend and is not designed for Health Professionals.

Many people find it difficult to talk about dying, yet dying is an important stage of life and is inevitable.

We plan for the birth of a child, yet when it comes to the end of life, we don’t often want to think about it, or talk about it.

Having a plan outlines our care preferences for the future. Having an Advance Care Plan (ACP) that aligns with our beliefs and values, is a gift that we can give to our family / whānau.

Come along to our workshop and find out more about dying matters, how an ACP can benefit you and your family/whānau and what to expect at the end of life.

We will explore:

– Why is it hard to talk about death and dying?
– What to expect when someone is dying
– Supports available
– Advance care planning processes

This is a free workshop, however space is limited so registration is essential.
