How well do we look after each other in our neighbourhoods? Have you ever had a conversation about end of life, how did it go? Have you ever thought about how to support someone you love, or know in the street who’s grieving or bereaved? Compassionate Communities are communities in which everyday people play a stronger role in the care of people at the end of life. It is an important topic as most people at the end of life spend only 5% with medical personnel and 95% with family, friends, online or within their communities. However, death and end of life is still seen as a mainly medical component, rather than a social one.

During this 'workshop'/conversation we invite community members to be part of creating compassionate communities in our local area. Please come along if you are interested, people don't have to have a lived experience, it is for anyone interested! 🙂.

Please RSVP by ringing 5491 4000
