The Paul Sartori Foundation is organising these events during Dying Matters Week 2025.
The week will start with a concert at St Mary's Church, Haverfordwest, on Monday, May 5, 2025, at 1pm.
The event will feature performances by the Paul Sartori Community Choir and will serve as a platform to highlight the importance of end-of-life conversations.
The concert aims to bring the community together through music, creating a supportive environment to discuss topics often considered taboo.
Continuing the week's events, the foundation will host an information and activities day on Thursday, May 8, 2025, from 10am to 2.30pm at The Third Place in Milford Haven.
The event, in conjunction with PAVS and Pembrokeshire County Council, will provide attendees with access to resources and discussions focused on end-of-life planning, bereavement support, and the services offered by the Future Care Planning department at the Paul Sartori Foundation.
There is also a guided walk and a craft area for creative expression.
The day is designed to educate individuals to make informed decisions about their end-of-life care.
On Friday, May 9, 2025, the foundation will host "The Dead Good Quiz," a fun and competitive event in the relaxed setting of Yr Hen Ysgol, Dinas Cross.
Participants can attend individually or as part of a team, enjoying a fun-filled quiz night that combines entertainment with meaningful discussion.
This event exemplifies the foundation's commitment to making end-of-life conversations more accessible and less daunting for the community.
These events have been instigated by the Future Care Planning department at Paul Sartori.
Mandy Jones, who works on the project in the community, said: "Having a future care plan in place means that you can take charge of what happens to you should you become seriously unwell and are unable to express your wishes.
"It also gives guidance to families and helps ease stress at a very difficult time.
"These community events aim to inform and empower people to have autonomy over their future health and wellbeing."
