Booking now open for Compassionate Communities in Wales event – 8 May 2025

Thursday 8 May 2025, 10am-4pm, in Cornerstone, Charles Street, Cardiff, CF10 2GA

As part of Dying Matters week, Compassionate Cymru, facilitated by Age Cymru, will be holding an in-person event to shine a spotlight on compassionate communities in Wales in relation to death, dying, grief and bereavement.

Come to this free event, funded by Macmillan Cancer Support, to hear about the amazing work going on to develop compassionate communities in Wales.

You will have the opportunity to hear from Grief Discos, Compassionate Penarth, Community Volunteer Julie Skelton on ‘What Matters Most’, Donna Marie Phillips-Sibanda a Community Outreach Coordinator at Ivor Thomas Funerals in Cardiff, and from Ceridwen Hughes from Same But Different CIC on their project ‘Dying to be Heard’. 

We will also experience Same But Different’s award winning exhibition, ‘What matters most’, in which photography, film and written narratives introduce the experiences of those living with dying and the caregivers involved in providing care and support.

The event is free with lunch and refreshments provided. Places allocated on a first come, first serve basis.
