All day: Compassionate Neighbours training at St Joseph's

All day
18 May, 2019

Compassionate Neighbours is a social movement, founded by St Joseph’s Hospice in 2014, to help reduce loneliness and social isolation with the people they work with. Compassionate neighbours are trained volunteers offering friendship and a listening ear to people living in their community, who are at the end of life through age or illness.

Training to be a Compassionate Neighbour is informal, fun and inspirational. You will be given the opportunity to explore how you can use your compassion to help others. You'll develop skills, meet other like-minded Compassionate Neighbours and, most importantly, have a great time.

Training dates 11 and 18 May

Find out more: 020 8525 6058 / cn@stjh.org.uk.
