Our community The next steps During the next five years we aim to: Grow the capacity of our bereavement support service through the development of our volunteer training programmes Develop Phoenix at St Giles to ensure that all young people in our catchment area struggling with the impact of bereavement can access care suited to their needs Provide increased opportunities and support for people who want to make written plans of their wishes Work closely with schools and young people to change attitudes and open up discussions about dying for future generations Campaign for improvements in end-of-life care with our local and national partners Extend our work with local businesses and organisations to enable them to feel more confident to talk about issues related to dying and bereavement – for both their employees and their customers Improve the way we engage with our community and recognise and build on that support Page 08
