About organisation / project
Princess Alice Hospice provides specialist palliative care to patients and their families across South West London and parts of Surrey. Our vision is that our communities will have the best care and support before, during and after death.

We provide care and support in the community and for both outpatients and inpatients.

Be the difference on your doorstep.
Compassionate Neighbours are trained volunteers offering friendship, support and listening ear to people living in their local community, sometimes with serious, long-term or terminal illness who often struggle with loneliness.
By popping round for a cup of tea or a friendly chat once a week you can make a world of difference. You will be a good listener, kind and have a genuine interest in other people.
As a Compassionate Neighbour Volunteer you’ll not only gain new skills, confidence, and social networks; you’ll be making a difference in your local community.
Full training and support is provided.
