Great to see that the East Cheshire Hospice’s event “A Dead Good Day” went so well today. The theme was “Ducks in a Row” and there was information available on managing your affairs so that your wishes are carried out and your loved ones are able to help look after everything that is important to you. They made a great job of making a sensitive subject positive and accessible.
