"We have seen the need for volunteers to support patients and families at the end of life for many years. We are delighted to have partnered with The Anne Robson Trust to create the Butterfly Companions team. This service provides compassionate, sensitive and loving support with a great team of carefully selected volunteers. They really improve end of life experience at RCHT and long may they continue their excellent work."
