Conversations over a Cuppa

We are currently working on a new resource for the IHF Care & Inform series. It’s called ‘Conversations over a Cuppa’, which is something we would like to encourage in every household in Ireland. In these times, death feels closer to us and we hope this series of tools will not scare you, but will bring a sense of control and relief that you and your loved ones know what is important to you.
