Dignity in Dying believes that everybody has the right to a good death; including the option of assisted dying for terminally ill, mentally competent adults. Dignity in Dying is a national campaign and membership organization, campaigning for change across the UK.

The Banga Trust understands that most people have strong wishes about what they want their end-of-life to be like, often based on their values, culture, beliefs, and health status, but currently the gap between what people want, and their experiences is vast.

The Trust has provided funding to Dignity in Dying’s campaign for greater choice at the end of life, as well as seed-funding for its sister charity, Compassion in Dying’s public health campaign to increase knowledge and shift attitudes and behaviours around the treatment decisions people often face as they approach the end of life.

The funding has supported targeted political advocacy: equipping MPs, Peers, and MSPs with compelling evidence and personal stories, holding them accountable to their constituents, colleagues and members of the public, and countering misinformation respectfully, with evidence.
