Compassionate Communities

Council is a proactive leader in the compassionate communities' space by providing the Mother's and Father's Day Memorial events in collaboration with local musicians and organisations. Memorial events offer a safe space for people to come together, unite in their shared experiences of death and ultimately build peer-to-peer support networks.

Compassionate communities acknowledge that death, dying, loss, grief and caregiving are everyone's business and not only the job of our health service and health professionals.
