We believe hospice care is for everyone. We are committed to making sure that all communities across Bristol, North Somerset and South Gloucestershire are aware of and able to access the support we provide.
We know that people from some communities are less likely to access hospice services and may not be familiar with the care and support available. Through our Community Engagement work, we are building trusted, strong relationships with people, community organisations and faith groups to better understand people's experiences and needs.
Our Community Engagement Coordinator, Muna, works with a wide range of communities, helping to raise awareness of hospice care, challenge misconceptions and improve understanding of the services we offer. We regularly attend community events, health fairs, faith gatherings and information sessions, as well as welcoming groups to visit the Hospice in Brentry to learn more about what we do.
We also work closely with local organisations, healthcare providers, community leaders and voluntary sector partners to ensure that information about hospice care reaches people in ways that are meaningful, accessible and culturally appropriate.
By listening to communities and learning from their experiences, we can continue to develop our services and help ensure that everyone who needs our support feels confident accessing it.
