We launched our new Digital & Social Media Will (booklet) at Advance Care Plan Day 2026.

If you receivied a copy, have completed it and would like to provide feedback please do so here https://digitallegacyassociation.org/dsmw

We are looking forward to empowering the general public with their digital lives tomorrow morning. The session will be delivered as part of NHS Thames Valley Integrated Care Board's Dying Well Series. For many, 'Dying Well' needs to include planning, safeguarding and passing on important parts of their digital life.

This session will educate residents within the Thames Valley region about the importance of this often, overlooked area. It will then guide residents through the process of documenting 'what matters most' to them in the digital world and how to talk about and share their stated wishes.

Planning Your Digital Legacy (by Saint Francis Hospice)

"Many parts of our lives are now digital - from photos and videos on our phones, to email accounts, social media, online banking, subscriptions and cloud storage. Thinking about what you would like to happen to these can make things easier for the people important to you.

You do not have to do everything at once. This page is a simple starting point to help you think about your digital life, record your wishes, and talk to someone you trust."

Saint Francis Hospice - Planning Your Digital Legacy Many parts of life are now digital. This guide can help you think about what you would like to happen to your online accounts, photos, devices and digital memories.

We had a wonderful time at Advance Care Plan Day 2026. We hope that attendees find value in our new, Digital & Social Media Will booklet.

Let us know your thoughts once reviewed and completed.

*The booklet will be available for all, soon.

We are looking forward to delivering a digital legacy training session for Thames Valley residents.
