Will you enter the Dragon's Den?

Good Life, Good Death, Good Grief members are being invited to take part in our very own Dragon’s Den, as part of a stakeholder networking event taking place in Edinburgh on 30th September.

Those who dare will have the opportunity to deliver a 5 minute pitch to fellow delegates, describing a project they’d like to undertake as part of To Absent Friends this year. Everyone present gets a vote, and the project that wins the most votes in a secret ballot at the end wins £250 to put the project into action.

Death Dragon's Den is part of an interesting and varied programme at Life, Death, Grief Gets Practical, a networking event for people in Scotland who are interested in promoting more openness about death, dying and bereavement. Organised by Good Life, Good Death, Good Grief, the event will provide delegates with opportunities to:

  • hear about Scottish initiatives relevant to promoting openness about death, dying and bereavement
  • share ideas for developing work in this area in the future
  • network with people who share an interest in this area
  • win £250 to support their participation in To Absent Friends, a people's festival of storytelling and remembrance this November

Attendance is free, but you need to book in advance. For more information about the programme for the day, and to book, visit our Eventbrite page: programme information and booking

If you’d like to participate in Dragon’s Den, email Rebecca with a 250 word summary of the project you’d like to pitch. Closing date is Wednesday 16th September, and you’ll hear by Thursday 24thSeptember whether you’ve been chosen to give your pitch on the day. (We’ll accommodate as many people as we can, but time will be limited, so we can’t guarantee everyone 5 minutes to pitch.)
