SPREADING COMPASSION THROUGH KINDNESS, RESPECT AND DIGNITY. Compassionate Hearts on Bellarine (CHOB) is part of a Worldwide Compassionate Communities movement which recognises the natural cycles of health and sickness, birth and death, love and loss. Respecting the medical and nursing care and local Palliative Care services, our trained volunteers offer non-medical "good neighbour" practical, emotional and social support to local people experiencing a life limiting illness, death, grief or loss. This includes companionship, carers' respite, reading, light errands.
