Do you or someone you know need a friend?

If you’re feeling lonely or isolated due to illness or age, or if you know someone who is, email us today or call 020 8320 5812.

Through our Compassionate Neighbours programme, we’ll match you with someone local who shares similar interests to you and can be on hand for a little bit of company. Here’s what else you can expect:

  • Someone to chat with, laugh with or simply spend time alongside
  • Regular company so you’ll feel less alone and more connected with your local community
  • A listening ear when things feel overwhelming

If you’re 18 or over, a resident of Greenwich or Bexley and you have a terminal or life-limiting illness, you can be matched with a Compassionate Neighbour who shares your interests.
