Positive end of life

3.4.4 Third-sector organisations

Third-sector organizations play a crucial role in providing support and advocacy for end-of-life care, often stepping in where state services fall short. They act as powerful advocates, promoting public awareness and lobbying for policy changes to ensure that individuals have access to dignified and compassionate care.

In the UK, a leading care charity has worked to highlight the needs of older people at the end of their lives, campaigning for improved services and better financial support (Age UK, 2013). Their work ensures that the voices of patients and their families are heard at a national level, influencing the very frameworks that govern end-of-life care.
