Community Volunteering

On the 22nd of September 2020 we held a national network meeting on the topic of community volunteering. We were joined by Carly Attridge who spoke about her work facilitating community volunteering projects, including Compassionate Communities, her previous role at St Joseph’s Hospice and her current work with The Loss Project. Linda Owens also joined us from Dorothy House Hospice to talk about her innovative community bereavement support project.
