What do we mean by ‘community’?

Different groups and communities have different strengths, weaknesses, problems and priorities relating to death, dying and bereavement – what might work for one community may be completely inappropriate for another.

•What am I trying to achieve? •Who am I trying to reach? •How can I encourage people to want to engage? •What resources might work? •Is there anything already out there I can join in with?
