About Irish Hospice Foundation
Irish Hospice Foundation (IHF) is a national charity that addresses dying, death and bereavement in Ireland. Our vision is an Ireland where people facing end of life or bereavement, and those who care for them, are provided with the care and support that they need. Our mission is to work towards the best end-of-life and bereavement care for all. Our values are integrity, courage, compassion, respect, and dignity.
Background to this study
The collaboration of bereavement service providers, at a local and national level, has been identified as a priority in Ireland as a way of enhancing bereavement care.
The first Local Bereavement Network (LBN) was established in North Dublin in 2016 by IHF and a number of bereavement service providers who operated in the North Dublin region. The network was established to connect local bereavement service providers and to facilitate collaboration among the network members to raise awareness of bereavement and bereavement services available locally.
Two additional networks were established by IHF in South Dublin in 2020 and Kildare in 2021, building on local interest. More recently IHF also provides support to two LBNs in Galway and Limerick.
Irish Hospice Foundation also promotes the development of the LBN Programme through the Local Bereavement Development. These annual grants aim to encourage and support collaborative bereavement developments at a local level.
There are currently five networks under the umbrella of IHF’s Local Bereavement Network Programme.
Generally, the networks meet four times a year for the purpose of sharing key developments and knowledge in the area of bereavement.
