Do you think you are neighbourly?

How would you feel if you were lonely and isolated living near people but hardly seeing anyone except medical professionals or carers?

That’s what it can be like for people living with a life shortening illness, even if they have a partner or family, sometimes a diagnosis can take over everything.

Would you like to be neighbourly to someone in this situation? If so volunteer as a St Mary’s Hospice Community Neighbour, you would be visiting someone nearby and offering them companionship and perhaps some trips out. All it takes is an hour or so once a week and more if you want.

On the other hand, would you or someone you know benefit from having a Community Neighbour?
