Future Matters is a free service to help you plan for the future
In the London Borough of Islington , Future Matters is funded by North Central London CCG and run by Gentle Dusk in partnership with AgeUK Islington.
Future Matters raises awareness of the importance of end of life care planning and provides practical support to Islington residents and those with an Islington GP, planning their future. Future Matters provides free guidance and one-to-one support to help you and your loved ones put together end of life plans. These outline how you’d like your financial affairs to be managed, your healthcare wishes and where you’d like to be cared for. This is important in either an emergency, such as an accident, or in later life, when you might not have the capacity, or the time to make your wishes known.
Future Matters can help you to put in place Lasting Powers of Attorney and Advance Care Plans. It also offers a forum to discuss thoughts about death, dying and bereavement through regular events such as Death Cafes. Future Matters encourages us all to take time to think about and plan for how we would like to be cared for: in an emergency or in the future. This is important whatever age we are, as none of us knows what the future might hold.
