Compassionate Neighbours is a project aiming to tackle the loneliness and isolation many people feel towards the end of life.  We train local people to become compassionate neighbours then match them with someone in their community who is in the last years of life due to age (85+) or illness (palliative condition). Through weekly visits either at home or out in public, the pair build an organic, reciprocal, neighbourly relationship, increasing connection, confidence and belonging, and boosting both people's wellbeing.
