Good Grief Connects began in March 2022 and aimed to change society’s attitude towards grief, death and dying.
It was a two-year project being led by researchers from the Palliative and End of Life Research Group at the University of Bristol.
With funding from The National Lottery Community Fund (the largest funder of community activity in the UK), the project helped to shift the public conversation around death and grief and create a more inclusive, compassionate and open society. More information available here.
