Our volunteer services support people of any age, living with, and affected by, terminal illness. You can access free, non-religious, compassionate support at home, in the community and in hospital.
How we can help
We help you to live your best quality life. Keep doing the things you want to do, with a caring supporter.
Everyone’s story is unique. We tailor our care around what each person tells us is important to them.
We will find you a volunteer who will visit you regularly (usually once a week) at times which suit you both. Your volunteer will be skilled at ‘tuning in’ He/ she will understand that your needs may vary from visit to visit. For example, sometimes you may feel like talking while at other times you may want to rest.
Your volunteer can also help you with the shopping, or getting to appointments or keeping up with yur social activities.
Give your family carer some time out or ‘respite’. It’s really important for your carer to have a few hours by themself!
Our volunteers are not nurses, or personal carers. They are companions, who can be there for you, right from the start when you find out you have an illness, and throughout your care.
Our support staff will explain the role of the volunteer when they meet with you. We’ll find just the right volunteer for you whether you love music or dogs, or painting, or fishing, or whatever makes you happy and your volunteer will encourage you to continue living your best life, your way.
