About Phase 1 - 2022 Bereavement Community Engagement Pilot Project in Kingston
NHS South West London commissioned Healthwatch Kingston and Kingston Voluntary Action to undertake a SWL community engagement pilot project in Kingston about people’s experience of bereavement services and support, with a focus on the needs of minoritised communities. This Kingston focused bereavement community engagement pilot culminated in a report with recommendations which supported South West London’s programme aim to: ‘Improve awareness of, access to and quality of bereavement services and support for underserved communities’.
About Phase 2 - the rollout of community engagement across SWL to address the gaps identified in Phase 1
NHS South West London agreed to a proposal to engage with groups not engaged with in Phase 1, to grow learning from more communities across SWL.
Healthwatch Kingston and Kingston Voluntary Action have been asked to lead coordination of the engagement work across SWL.
The pilot in Kingston adopted a community engagement approach which explored the lived experience of those accessing services / support, what mattered most when grieving and the intersection with culture, language barriers, faith, beliefs and life philosophies. Phase 2 will continue this methodology so that the Phase 2 report can become an appendix to the Phase 1 report.
As Phase 1 of this SWL work was piloted in Kingston, we actively encouraged organisations from the other five boroughs to submit for Phase 2 grants.
