About us

Who we are

The “Get People Talking” Charity! As a “Get People Talking” charity we employ the following main strategies to break the taboo surrounding ageing, death and dying, and bring about positive change in people’s lives, their communities and society: 1. ‘Get People Talking’ ageing, death and dying and more “Get us talking and we will get others talking” Through the Diealog and Men Beyond 50 projects the charity has developed a proven and sustainable ‘social franchise model’ to help communities set up and run ongoing ‘Get People Talking’ Groups. These meet regularly, both supporting and helping individuals in the groups, and acting as a hub for growing grass-roots community initiatives to help others. The charity also puts on programmes of (mostly free) Storytelling Events and Workshops, and public meetings with the aim of reaching a wider audience and also working with diverse and disadvantaged communities. 2. Partnering with End-of-Life service providers Using the positive Diealog and Men Beyond 50 approaches the charity partners with health service providers and organisations on projects and initiatives to change individual behaviour and intended behaviour, to reduce avoidable mental illness in older people, and to improve detection, as well as improve health and quality of life wellbeing. 3. Campaigning to Change Public Attitudes and Awareness on Ageing, Death and Dying The charity focuses on issues and needs related to ageing, death and dying, championing disadvantaged, vulnerable, carer and at risk groups, and where possible partnering with national service providers and agencies to help change public attitudes and awareness, and particularly to challenge health and social inequalities. “Death and dying is everybody’s business, and the only way to break the taboo is for us all to talk about it!” 4. Creating an inclusive and positive voice for everybody The charity’s projects are growing local communities of people listening, sharing and talking, and creating a hub for mobilising care, compassion and energy. Even on Ageing, Death and Dying we do positive and upbeat!
