Meet our Chair - Simon Betteridge
30 years ago I started out in youth and community work. My training had been excellent but it didn’t prepare me for what it meant to build the relationships that changed my world view in such a profound way.
Since then within community development, healthcare, grassroots sport, prison, and in faith groups my passion has been to enable all people to have a voice, and experience life in all its fullness. I’ve had the privilege of seeing people of many different backgrounds flourish, overcoming inequalities, prejudice, illness, isolation and much more.

when people share and listen to the stories of others, we learn and grow together.
Compassionate Places is a Community Interest Company, through local partnerships we aim to promote and enable the best possible life experience throughout the whole community.
What is the story of your community? What makes your group special? What would you like to celebrate, share with others and encourage more of?
