Compassionate Conversations Pop-ups

St Helena Hospice is supporting a series of Compassionate Conversations Pop-ups across Colchester & Tendring, to help people facing serious illness, loss, and isolation, thanks to vital funding support from Colchester Catalyst Charity.

The programme will see a team of specially trained Community Connector volunteers based in public spaces such as cafés, libraries, and local hubs, where they will offer a friendly listening ear, connection, and signposting to local support for anyone affected by serious illness, ageing, caregiving, bereavement, or social isolation. 

Through this initiative, St Helena aims to build stronger, more compassionate communities where people feel more confident talking about death, dying and loss, and where no one has to face these experiences alone. 

Coffee

Anybody can visit these pop-ups for a meaningful conversation with a Community Connectors volunteer, who will:

  • Encourage open, supportive conversations about death, dying, and loss.

  • Signpost to relevant community and health support groups and services.

  • Raise awareness of local wellbeing initiatives. 

  • Encourage social connection to help reduce loneliness and isolation.

For more information about these pop-ups, and for volunteering as a Community Connector,  email compassionatecoimmunities@sthelena.org.uk
