‘Box of Me’ is a fun and informative group workshop for LGBTQ+ adults which invites you to think more about the plans you could put in place for your care and end of life. The aim of the workshop is to ensure you can be your authentic and full self throughout all of your lifetime (and beyond!). This session was created by LGBT Foundation’s Pride in Ageing programme in collaboration with St Ann’s Hospice (now Moya Cole Hospice).
How does the session work? The workshop lasts two hours. At the beginning of the workshop you will be provided with a box. Over the next 90 minutes you will have the choice to call at different ‘action’ stations to find out more about the plans you could be putting in place for serious illness or end of life care and add information about the things that are important to you to your box. There will also be a box decoration station where you can personalise your box.
Topics you could explore include:• My life story, identity and who is important to me• My advance care plan and decision-making• My will• Donating my organs • What my funeral would look like
For the final 30 minutes of the session there will be time to reflect with the group over tea and coffee. You are welcome to take your box and any information home to keep in a safe place for the future (make sure to tell a trusted friend or family member where it is).
This event is open to anyone aged 18+. This event has been produced by the Pride in Ageing programme at LGBT Foundation. If you have any questions about accessing this event please contact prideinageing@lgbt.foundation.
