Doors open at 7pm, kick-off at 7.30pm

Friends at the End is a UK membership organisation campaigning for a change in the law, to legalise Assisted Dying in Scotland and the UK. They believe that medically assisted dying should be available to all mentally competent adults with either a terminal illness or an incurable condition causing hopeless and unbearable suffering with no reasonable alternative to relieve it, provided this is their own persistent request. Part of their work is to educate decision makers and the public in general about end of life options, helping to ensure that people are able to have a good death within the current legal framework.
