Monthly Information Sessions
From 2026 we will hold two types of online information sessions alternating monthly:
a 1 hour introduction to the topic of voluntarily stopping eating and drinking (VSED) and a 2.5 hour deep dive session for those interested in learning more.
These sessions are free, run by us as volunteers, and are held online over Zoom.
Anyone interested in learning about VSED is welcome.
The next sessions are:
Wednesday 11th February 2026, 10-11am (for the media)
Saturday 28th February 2026, 10am-12:30pm (2.5 hour session)
Thursday 19th March 6-7pm (1 hour session)
Monday 27th April 6-8:30pm (2.5 hour session)
To sign up please send us an email: info@talkvsed.org.uk
Speaking at Public Events
We are dedicated to helping more people learn about VSED through public events and discussions.
In 2025 we held an online event during Dying Matters Awareness Week, spoke online at the University of Bath's "CDAS Conference 2025 - Death and transitions", and hosted our own public forums both in person and online.
If you have a suggestion for an event that you think would be a good opportunity to inform about VSED do let us know.
Speaking at Private Events
Some of our past event attendees who found learning about VSED valuable have invited us to speak at their own events.
If you have a group of people in mind who you would like to introduce the topic of VSED to - whether that is friends and neighbours or your organisation - we would welcome a conversation about your idea and appreciate your initiative.
