Overview

A free talk to help you plan for later life – emotionally, practically and financially

As we approach later life, we are often juggling so many responsibilities and questions for the future.

These questions have emotional, practical and financial implications – but where do you start? And what do you need to know in order to make the choices that are right for you, your family and those you care about?

Planning with care is a free event to help you plan for later life – emotionally, practically and financially.

At this informal session, you’ll hear from Poppy’s Funerals, Claire-Louise Smith from Pearson Hards Solicitors and eldercare consultant Claire Edwards – all over a cup of coffee at our welcoming shop on East Sheen high street.

Running order

• Introduction from Poppy’s
• Lasting Power of Attorney and Wills – the importance of appointing trusted decision‑makers and the risks of leaving this too late
• Eldercare – navigating the care maze
• Funeral Plans and planning – understanding Funeral Plan options, costs and timing and the value of exploring your funeral wishes in advance.

All are welcome at this event, whether you are beginning to think about your own plans for the future, or for people you care for.

Poppy’s is a proud member of Dementia Friendly Communities Richmond‘s dementia-friendly businesses initiative. The conversation will include the implications of planning for later life when living with dementia.
