The Compassionate Neighbours scheme aims to combat loneliness and isolation through training volunteers to support members of our community who are living with poverty or ill-health. After the initial pilot scheme in Whiston and Prescot, we plan to expand the service across the whole of St Helens and Knowsley.
We would like to invite members of the communities of Whiston and Prescot to nominate themselves or nominate others who they feel would benefit from the Compassionate Neighbours service.
To do this you can fill the form in online https://willowbrook.org.uk/compassionate-neighours/ or call The Volunteer Hub on 01744 453798 for further information
Given the current situation with the pandemic, as always, safety is our number one concern. As a result we are starting with a very cautious and phased approach which will be kept under constant review.
Compassionate Neighbours volunteers are fully trained to provide their time, companionship and support to people living in the community. We will match someone to support a community user according to their likes, hobbies, interests and location. There will be no charge for this service although donations are always welcomed to support the vital work of Willowbrook Hospice.
