Compassionate Neighbours is a social movement which helps to tackle the loneliness and isolation that many people face towards the end of life due to age or illness. We train local people to become Compassionate Neighbours and then introduce them to someone living close by who could do with some support. Through this match we hope that a real life, reciprocal friendship grows which enriches the lives of both people, increasing social connections and sparking numerous positive ripple effects.

Compassionate Neighbours projects currently run in many London hospices and the team at Royal Trinity Hospice hopes to have our Compassionate Neighbours project open for external referrals in our catchment area in Spring 2023.

In the meantime, if you have any questions please contact Emma, Community Engagement Manager, on [email protected] or call 020 7787 1000.
