The North London Hospice is recruiting more "Compassionate Neighbours" to play vital roles by offering their time to people with life-limiting illness who are experiencing loneliness or social isolation. Regular visits, companionship or just a listening ear can really make a difference.

The hospice, which has premises in North Finchley and Winchmore Hill, has been operating a Compassionate Neighbours scheme since 2018 and to date has trained 170 volunteers and made nearly 150 introduction. It was recently awarded more funding by the National Lottery Community Fund to allow it to train more volunteers.

Training courses are held on Zoom and the next dates are 27, 28 January, 3 and 4 February.

For more information email or phone Judy Guy on 07956 496673.

If you or someone you know is in need of a Compassionate Neighbour, visit northlondonhospice.org/work-for-us/compassionate-neighbours/ and follow the link to the application form.

While we admire and support the Christmas campaigns that we see pop up in December, we also know that help is urgently needed all year round, each and every year. As some people pack away after the festive break, we are still here.

Our support is not limited to a food package, but it leaps beyond - we form connections, we listen and respond to everyone who steps through our doors. We open up a warm, safe, environment which aims to feel like a home away from home.

For us to continue to thrive and grow, and keep supporting as many people as possible, we are asking you to become a Friend of Cooking Champions. Even a donation of just £5-10 per month can make a HUGE impact on the lives of those who come through our doors.

Pop to our People's Fundraising page to donate, and we promise to keep you updated with how your support is making a difference. Thank you, we appreciate you! Team Cooking Champions
