Compassionate Neighbours Volunteers
St Joseph's Hospice Hackney
Could you be a Compassionate Neighbour? Compassionate Neighbours is free community-led support for anyone living with or caring for a person with a serious, long-term or terminal illness.
Make a real difference to your community: People living with a serious, long-term or terminal illness often struggle with loneliness and could do with some extra support. Compassionate Neighbours can really make a difference. They are a network of trained volunteers who are willing to offer their time, companionship and support to people living in their community who are coping with serious illness.
