Compassionate Neighbour Volunteer

Be the difference on your doorstep. Compassionate Neighbours are trained volunteers offering friendship, support and listening ear to people living in their local community, sometimes with serious, long-term or terminal illness who often struggle with loneliness. By popping round for a cup of tea or a friendly chat once a week you can make a world of difference. You will be a good listener, kind and have a genuine interest in other people. As a Compassionate Neighbour Volunteer you’ll not only gain new skills, confidence, and social networks; you’ll be making a difference in your local community. Full training and support is provided. Training for our next intake will be held at the Hospice on the following dates: Tuesday 15 September and Thursday 17 September 2026, 9:30am – 3:30pm If you are unable to attend the above dates, we have scheduled training dates for later on this year: Saturdays 7 & 14 November 2026, 9:30am – 3:30pm
