National ACP Day Resources

A number of free to use, and easy to download resources can be found below. These have been created to help encourage participation, self empowerment and societal action. 

We encourage YOU to make a ‘pledge’ of a task that you complete. You might also want to educate and empower others through the sharing of information, educational prompts and documentation.

Make a pledge...

Download and share a pledge card onto your favourite social networks. This will let other people know that you are taking control of your future health, social care, wellbeing and wider wishes.

Click on the green ‘Download’ button underneath the image you would like to share. This will open the image in a ‘new window’. Click on the download icon (top righthand corner) and the file will be saved onto the device you are using. The download icon looks like the image shown below:


Once downloaded upload the image from your computer, tablet or phone to Facebook, X (formerly known as Twitter), Instagram etc with your add your own personal message. 

"From a community engagement and public health perspective, a national day that promotes advance care planning has the potential to lead to a culture change. This is especially important within communities that may have limited trust or access to traditional health care settings."
