Support our Work
Thank you for your interest in supporting us in our mission to raise awareness of voluntarily stopping eating and drinking (VSED). There are a few ways you can get involved:
Anyone can support our cause by educating others about VSED!
Our work is entirely volunteer-led but we need money to fund our activities. If you find our work valuable we are grateful to receive a donation to our Crowdfunding campaign.
If you have relevant contacts to the press, the arts, or medical associations (or are yourself involved in an area that can help us increase awareness!) we'd love to hear from you.
We are welcoming new group members with relevant backgrounds and interest to support our cause. Particularly we would love to hear from:
- family members/friends/close contacts of someone who chose VSED
- GPs
- hospice staff
- medical ethicists
If you are a family member/friend/close contact of someone who chose VSED you can also support us by:
Sharing your experience: We are keen to hear about your lived experience in a phone call or over email. Your experience - whether positive or challenging - can help us gain a better understanding of VSED in the UK and in turn support us in providing factual and relevant information. We understand that this may be personal and tender conversations which we will treat with care and respect.
Shaping our work: We are keen to have your input on what work we should focus on. What resources do you think would be most beneficial to create for individuals considering VSED and their families? What support was helpful or lacking in your experience and we should lobby for? Is there something we can offer to make you feel supported?
