What does the House of Compassion do

House of Compassion is a low-threshold place where many different activities take place that focus on compassion for people in a socially vulnerable position.

Compassion with people living in poverty, refugees, and those who are socially isolated and/or have health problems, for example. We organise activities for people in a socially vulnerable position, but at the same time also for people who are doing well. It is precisely the encounter between different groups of people that we pursue, as this can lead to understanding for each other and respect.
