The GroundSwell Project initiated the National Compassionate Communities Forum in 2018 in effort to learn more about what it takes for Compassionate Communities to thrive in Australia.
The research of the forum was facilitated by Western Sydney University’s Caring at End of Life research team.
After two years working with nine different community groups around the country, we have learnt a huge amount about what it takes for communities to develop this work and build capacity to better support each other at the end of life.
We are now ready to share these findings, in hopes of furthering the capacity for this movement to grow.
