In Suffolk, we are seeking to build a compassionate community which includes families, neighbours, local organisations, spiritual support as well as other health and social care professionals such as doctors, nurses and carers. ​People within a compassionate community work together to support an individual, their family and carers to identify and respond to their needs, wishes and choices at the end of life.

Helping you to help your family, friends and community with their mental health and wellbeing - ensuring that everyone knows where to go for help and support.
