They are calling for support from anyone who is interested in making Hamilton a Compassionate City

The initiative will begin with a gathering to explain some of the concepts, to familiarise people with the Compassionate Cities world movement.

The International Institute for Compassionate Cities supports compassionate initiatives in any place where human beings gather.

The initial meeting will also explore possibilities for undertaking a community-wide project.

At the project's launch it is hope to elect a steering committee, from the groups and individuals represented, to see this project through to fruition.

WHEN: Thursday 13th November, from 5:00-7:00pm

WHERE: Chartwell Room, Hamilton Gardens, Hamilton.
