Who We Are

Compassionately Portsmouth is an initiative focused on making a meaningful difference through everyday and significant acts of compassion across our city. We unite local leaders, organisations and volunteers to identify needs and deliver projects that spread kindness and support throughout Portsmouth.

How We Help

Shop Support

Shopping with or for those who find it difficult to get to the shops

Transport

Accompanying and transporting adults with health conditions to medical appointments

Companions

Providing companionship and befriending for people experiencing loneliness and isolation

You can view our full range of assistance on the Good Neighbours Network page.

Join Us in Expanding Compassion

We’re keen to extend practical compassion into other areas of city life, including tackling holiday hunger (supporting school-age children who go hungry outside term time), addressing hate crime, and combating loneliness.

If you or your organisation are interested in collaborating on these or similar projects, we’d love to start a conversation with you.

Get Involved

Whether you want to volunteer, partner with us, or simply learn more about our work, there’s a place for you in Compassionately Portsmouth. Together, we can build a city where compassion thrives.
