Just being there could give more comfort and support than you will ever really know…
End of life support can make a huge difference to the way in which people experience the last stages of their life, enabling them to overcome fears and anxieties with friendship, connection and warmth. Could you provide that meaningful and reassuring presence, particularly to someone who may be lonely or isolated?
For most people, home is where they want to be at the end of life. Despite the range of health and care services available, people who are dying can experience isolation, feel excluded from social circles and distanced from their communities. Loneliness and social isolation can have a detrimental impact on both health and quality of life.
End of life Companion Volunteers help reduce loneliness and social isolation for those approaching end of life. They are a mindful, compassionate presence at this sensitive time ‘walking alongside’ and accompanying you towards the end of life – practically, emotionally and spiritually, supporting you in the most peaceful and secure way, knowing there is someone by your side.

Volunteers Needed!
Could you provide that meaningful and reassuring presence, particularly to someone who may be lonely or isolated?
We are now recruiting for specialist volunteers to help support those individuals within our local communities who are approaching the end of their lives alone, through ill health or age. Our Compassionate Companion end of life support Volunteers will sit with people in their final days and hours- talking, listening, and offering a supportive human presence at a time of need. Full training and support is provided for this rewarding new role.
Do you have strong connections or knowledge of your community? We are particularly interested in hearing from you if you if you think you can champion and support this vital service within your local community.
