Need help getting your plan actually done?
Want to inspire others to do their plans?
Before I Go Solutions is a social enterprise (aka a not-for-profit)
This means we have a social mission
to help carers and caregivers for free!
In order to enable this, the business arm offers various paid services.
It is these services that generate the funds required to serve you if you don't have the time or financial resources to create their own end of life plans, due to your carer responsibilities.
Free help for carers and the cared for!
Because I have been a carer (for my husband when he had ME, and also during his last year of stomach cancer), I know what it's like to be a caregiver. If you're in this position, and want to get your end-of-life plan done, and help the one you're caring for to get theirs done, then please visit this page.

A deeper intimacy
"Jane's work has finally got us going on something we had been saying for ages 'would be a good idea', and it is much more than about just the legal necessities. Just as important for us was to explore what each of us needs to know about continuing life without our partner. This has surprisingly brought a depth of intimacy between us - looking at the possibility of incapacity and death for either one of us has not been the dreadful subject one could imagine. Now the ball is rolling it feels good and positive". Hugh & Janet, Scotland
