Caregiving Relief

At Compassionate Communities NI, we believe that no one should face advanced illness, caregiving, death, or bereavement alone. We draw inspiration from Allan Kellehear, founder of the Compassionate Communities movement, who powerfully asserts, “Death is a social event with a medical component, not a medical event with a social component. The larger part of dying happens outside of the institution and professional care.” This perspective shapes our approach and underscores the importance of community support.
