Compassionate Communities

Building supportive resilient and responsive communities has been part of the 3rd sectors DNA for over a hundred years and more, all of our organisations contribute to supporting communities to flourish and grow in many different ways. This session is going to look at the growing movements and organisations developing the concept of ‘compassionate communities’, particularly around making provision for the needs of people who are caring, dying or grieving and how, as a sector we actively allow people to talk about and plan ahead for ill-health and death, here in Aberdeen.
