Meet Irene & Jon: our Compassionate Neighbours project coordinator & lead. Throughout lockdown, the team has been linking people up throughout Greenwich and Bexley to support each other.

We’re asking people to introduce us to people they know who’d like to be part of this movement supporting people at @gbchospice ! If everyone could introduce us to four or five potential volunteers.. #powerof5

Hi Everyone! Little bit early as we’ve got an errand to run.. We’ve missed #greenwichhour but have been busy.. over the past five years, we’ve now got 275 Compassionate Neighbours!

[Compassionate Neighbours in Greenwich & Bexley @CNGreenBex]

More importantly.. we are always looking for more people to get involved and spend time with someone who is lonely and would love to meet someone new.

@miriam_storey @GreenwichHour We’ll try and be there- there’s some news we’ve been meaning to share so maybe the revival is the place to drop it 🤐😀

So proud of Lucas winning @GMB‘s One Million Minutes Young Loneliness Champion award this morning for his work supporting us at @gbchospice!

#Volunteering this winter can make a real difference in your community! As a compassionate neighbour, you can help bring hope and companionship to those who are feeling lonely. Together we can make this season brighter and more meaningful. #LonelinessAwareness #BeAHero

We'll be in touch with everyone we spoke to - but if you didn't have chance to leave a card but would like to learn more, send us a DM here and we'll make sure to share some more details with you!

We had a great time at #HUKConf22, talking about Compassionate Neighbours at @gbchospice with colleagues from other Hospices.

[Compassionate Neighbours in Greenwich & Bexley @CNGreenBex]

Great to talk to so many hospices at #HUKConf22 about Compassionate Neighbours projects all over London & the South East. We’re here until Thursday - so pop along, have a chat (and get a stamp)!

[Community Hospice @comm_hospice]

To mark #DMAW22, we asked our supporters, patients, carers, volunteers and staff to share their ‘Song to Remember Me By’ - so presenting a playlist of everyone’s suggestions. There’s something for everyone here – we hope you enjoy listening to it! https://t.co/K7XZbGnA7Y

It was great to meet our local MP last week to talk about @gbchospice and to share some stories from our wonderful Compassionate Neighbours!

[Abena Oppong-Asare MP @abenaopp]

Greenwich and Bexley Community Hospice @gbchospice provide end of life care to people in Greenwich and Bexley.

Last week I visited them and met with patients and staff. I thanked the staff for all their hard work over a difficult few years.

[Compassionate Neighbours in Greenwich & Bexley @CNGreenBex]

It’s super easy to vote - and we’d be SO excited if @gbchospice makes it onto the board!

[Naomi O'Leary @NaomiOhReally]

This is like a lesson in how to facilitate older people while honouring who they are.
What a class act by @ladygaga with legend Liza Minnelli.
The conferred whispers of "I gotcha" "I know" picked up by the mikes make it especially touching.

[Compassionate Neighbours in Greenwich & Bexley @CNGreenBex]

We're anticipating more need than ever for our support over the winter: so get in touch now to get involved and support someone who is isolated and nearing the end of life through age or illness.
