Welcome to the toolkit

This collection of resources provides ideas and information that will be of practical use to people wishing to make their local community more supportive of people going through difficult times that can come with death, dying, loss and care.

Since communities are all different, not all of the ideas in the toolkit will appeal to everyone, or seem appropriate for every community.

However, hopefully they will provide a starting point and and help to stimulate thought and new ideas in communities.
