Jenny Watt runs a handful of death cafés across Glasgow to help people talk about death.

The 31-year-old runs the community spaces to encourage discussion about a topic few people like to talk about.

Jenny believes the cafes can help break down taboos about the subject of death.

Spencer Mason previously attempted to end his life, but is currently coping with the end-of-life care of a person close to him. "I think the more we discuss death then surely the more appreciative you become of life," he says. "In circumstances where I've become close to death, I've come out of them wanting life more than ever.".
