The Hospice Biographers: A life report of the dying

The charity going into hospices to record the biographies of those in their final days.

Have you ever thought about writing a brief autobiography? The Hospice Biographers is a charity which sends specialist volunteers into hospices to record the life stories of those in their final days.

Amol Rajan sits down with the founder and trustee of The Hospice Biographers Barbara Altounyan and supporter of the charity Robert Peston to talk about how such life reports can offer an opportunity to remember, reflect, and leave some wisdom for relatives and friends.

We want to hear from you. Send in your 400 word life report by emailing today@bbc.co.uk and put Life Report in the subject line to have the chance to record your own life report for the Today programme.
