Compassionate Communities NI

Compassionate Communities NI Connecting communities through compassionate action and changing attitude and behaviour towards life, age, death and bereavement.

We are committed to raising peoples awareness to the challenges that face people when dealing with death, dying and loss, and to promote a compassionate response that will support people on their final journey and the continued journey for those they leave behind. These people we understand to be vulnerable and valued. We also know that talking and planning for death and dying helps us to live bet

ter. That is why we promote the importance of seeing end of life as part of life and making decisions about our own end of life journey. We believe that death and dying are social issues as well as a medical issue.
