About this Event
Chaired by the Presiding Officer and chair of Scotland’s Futures Forum, Rt Hon Ken Macintosh MSP, this event will consider our approach to death and dying in Scotland, now and in the future, and how our cultural relationship with death could and should change by 2030.
With a keynote presentation from writer, broadcaster and ex-bishop Richard Holloway, this event will tackle a taboo subject that ultimately affects us all.
