Compassionate communities could help with provision by fostering community-led responses to dying, death and grief. Despite their global growth, compassionate communities are often absent from national and international palliative care strategies, and few are represented in academic literature. This, along with their diversity and community-defined nature, can contribute to difficulties in documentation, evaluation and visibility, limiting the ability to showcase their benefits, form partnerships and evaluate practice.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Objectives:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This study protocol outlines the development of the first global atlas of compassionate communities, aiming to map their locations and increase understanding of their structures, activities and impacts.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Design:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A participatory methodology was used. This enabled global participants to complete and share the survey based on their experiences with community programmes addressing serious illness, dying and grief. A diverse steering committee guided the design, validation and piloting of the survey to ensure clarity, cultural sensitivity and accessibility. Eighteen global experts contributed to developing and validating the survey, with 14 of 15 items meeting the Content Validity Index threshold. The final survey captures data on location, aims, evaluation, challenges and impact. Dissemination involves global networks, social media and snowball sampling.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Discussion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This protocol addresses a critical gap in Public Health Palliative Care literature by providing an inclusive and participatory method to map the compassionate community\u2019s landscape. The resulting data will promote visibility, partnerships and future research, supporting greater recognition of global compassionate communities and their contributions to primary palliative care.<\/jats:p>\n
