Chiltern Compass seeks to encourage everyone to consider and plan for their death. To this end we are keen to give presentations to organisations which have an interest in improving the lives of their members in this way. We do not charge for these events but donations towards our running costs are appreciated.
Please contact us to discuss the timing and planning of an event.
We also hold public events and workshops to which everyone is welcome.
