Bringing joy and connection back to the heart of communities through a touch of gentleness.

The giving of a therapeutic  hand massage by our volunteers, who are also trained in listening skills, creates a safe space where people can rest and 'simply be' with others in connection.   

All our volunteers interactions are imbibed in the spirit of gentleness. 

'And as so often happens with gentleness, there is a double gift that appears: the one who offers it and the one who recieves it are both brought together.'
Anne Dufourmantelle

We primarily offer our services to communities or organisations who would like to further support the care they provide for their staff, clientele or carers. Such organisations and communities include, but are not exclusive to, hospitals, hospices, corporate organisations, shelters for the homeless, libraries, mums groups, social clubs for the elderly, live events, health and wellbeing fairs and outdoor public spaces..

The frequency of how often we offer this service to organisations may vary from a one-off visit to weekly or monthly visits depending on their requirements and our volunteers availability.

‘’What Helen and her team provide through A touch of gentleness is unique, calm & welcoming –They are really giving back to the local community and to those in need of a basic human connection.  I noticed through a simple act of kindness what it has done to uplift those visiting the centre -
Hend Moussa – Community Manager, The Beacon
