No-one deserves to die alone

We work with healthcare organisations across the UK to provide companionship through specially trained end of life volunteers. We also offer workshops, digital resources and guidance to help families, careers and professionals navigate death and dying.

About Us

The Anne Robson Trust was founded to provide support, comfort and compassion for those nearing the end of their life, and those closest to them. Through our partnerships with NHS hospitals, community trusts, and hospices, along with the generosity of our donors, we can help bring comfort, dignity, and peace to people in their final days.

We believe that everyone deserves to have the comfort and companionship of another human being as they die, and the support to prepare for the end of their life.

Meet Anne Robson

Anne spent a week in hospital. During this time, her family learned in the most painful way imaginable about the challenges faced by the NHS in caring for elderly people – and the impact this can have on patients and their loved ones.

We support people facing the end of their life

Our vision is for everyone to receive the support they need to face the end of life – whether their own or that of someone close to them. No one deserves to die alone.

"I founded the charity to try to take away some of the fear that surrounds death and dying, by offering companionship, guidance, and tools to make the final months, weeks and hours of someone's life feel less lonely and more supported.”

“Thank you to all the volunteers for visiting Dad and spending time with him. The work you all undertake is very important and is a great comfort to family and friends as it is not always possible to be with Dad all day. Dad was sleeping peacefully most of the time and I am grateful that he ended his last few days this way. Thank you for all your kindness.”

“As a family we have been overwhelmed by the support we have been given by the Butterfly team. Every single volunteer has been an absolute angel and made this very sad time so much easier. From the bottom of our hearts we would like to thank you so much. The hub has been so peaceful and comforting for us. Love to everyone who makes this happen.”

“I chatted to the patient's two daughters, who had been sitting with their mum for the past five days. They asked lots of questions about the death process and what was happening. I gave them a booklet and talked to them about what might happen. The family were very happy with their mum's care.”
