About our Compassionate Support Hubs ​

Rennie Grove’s Compassionate Support Hubs are drop-in sessions, in a local venue or with a local partner. They provide a space where people affected by the diagnosis of a progressive life-limiting illness can drop in to meet others for a drink and a friendly chat. Also, there are trained volunteers or staff members, who can offer information, guidance and signposting to available services.​

There is no need to book, so please just come along. ​

If you have any questions, please get in touch with our Compassionate Communities team​ on 01442 890222 or get in touch via our enquiry form
