The aim of the two-year project will be to help shift the public conversation around death and grief and create a more inclusive, compassionate and open society, by:
- Working with partners to deliver and evaluate three pilot projects that will help support diverse communities in talking about grief, death and dying and accessing the support they need
- Developing an online Grief Hub which will provide resources to increase understanding of grief, bereavement and the end of life, and signpost to information and services
- Supporting and disseminating best practice from across the UK in community engagement and development around grief, death and dying.
Thanks to National Lottery players, the grant of £299,815 will see the two-year research project, Good Grief Connects, begin in April.
