Compassionate Hillingdon
Coordinating and supporting community relationships across Hillingdon
What we do
Compassionate Hillingdon is a collaborative project that aims to supports adults living in the borough of Hillingdon, who have a life-limiting illness, and who are lonely or socially isolated and in the last years of life and those caring for them. We do this by facilitating reciprocal friendships between like-minded people who live close to one another.
This project is part of the ‘Compassionate Communities’ movement. Compassionate Communities is built on a combined ethos of a Public Health Approach to Community Development, Palliative and End of Life Care.
Finding support that's right for you
Everyone is different, is interested in different things and has a different story to tell. Once we have a better idea of your interests and needs, we can help pair you with a Compassionate Friend who’s right for you.
Your Compassionate Friend can visit you at home, arrange to take you out if you wish, can just call you weekly for a chat. Their support will be based around you and the things that you enjoy doing but they will also support you with things that are worrying you or have become problematic.
This might range from having someone to accompany you to an activity that you enjoy, helping you with shopping, or helping with a pet, to using the internet and helping manage correspondence.
