Anne Robson Trust wins National Lottery funding

The Anne Robson Trust will receive a total of £223,000 over three years, with the aim of ‘Stepping up to support people at the end of life.’
The funds will go towards growing our work in hospitals, exploring how we can better support people in the community, and building capacity in our organisation for the long term.
Our thanks go to our National Lottery officer Steve, who helped us to shape our application and represented our cause to their funding committee.
Most of us tend to avoid using the words death, dying or died and use phrases like ‘they passed away’ or ‘they’re no longer with us’ and many other euphemisms when we have to discuss it.
Caring for someone you love at the end of their life is never easy. How should you best support them? What should you say to them? Is the rest of the family coping?
Over the weekend I was scrolling through Twitter and came across this beautiful post from our friend, eminent Palliative Care Consultant and bestselling Author, Dr Kathryn Mannix.
