| Annotation | This report describes the findings from a collaborative venture between Help the Aged and a team of researchers from the Universities of Sheffield and Nottingham to run four listening events around the UK. These aimed to offer older people the opportunity to express their views about the end of life, while also supporting them with advice and information to help meet their concerns. 74 people from diverse communities attended these events. Their views are presented under six themes: perspectives on talking about the end of life; raising concerns about the end of life with family members; the importance of spirituality; after death; care at the end of life; and concerns about death and dying.
