A large-scale Norwegian project (2007-2015) attempted to increase ethical competence in community services through facilitating the implementation of ethics support activities in 241 Norwegian municipalities. The article describes the ethics project and the ethics activities that ensued.', 'The article first gives an account of the Norwegian ethics project. Then the results of two online questionnaires are reported, characterizing the scope, activities and organization of the ethics activities in the Norwegian municipalities and the ethical topics addressed.', 'One hundred and thirty-seven municipal contact persons answered the first survey (55\xa0% response rate), whereas 217 ethics facilitators from 48 municipalities responded to the second (33\xa0% response rate).
