Mountbatten Neighbours support older people across Southampton and large parts of Hampshire who are living with chronic life-limiting illnesses, and with frailty, and those that are feeling isolated from their local community and are under the care of Mountbatten Hampshire Hospice.
Neighbours provide emotional and social support and develop natural, mutual friendships. They are valued by those they visit.
A Mountbatten Neighbour will usually visit or meet with someone for at least an hour a week, but it can be more if you choose.
We are looking for people who live in the SO16, SO18 and SO19 postcodes especially.
What skills do I need?
As a Neighbour you will:
- Offer friendship and a listening ear
- Support people doing the things they enjoy
- Support people to stay connected with their community, family and friends
- Have emotional resilience due to the nature of our work

This opportunity is available Countywide.
